Phil Ryken’s Excellent Talk and Interview Are Online

We at the Henry Center in Deerfield, IL are pleased to announce that the audio and video files for both the Scripture and Ministry lecture and interview with Dr. Phil Ryken of Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, PA are now posted and ready for viewing and reflection.  These events took place on October 1 and 2, 2008 at the TEDS campus in Deerfield, IL.

I would encourage readers of this blog to watch both the lecture and the interview.  Both are well-done visually and will stimulate much thought and reflection.  Pastors and seminarians in particular will benefit from Ryken’s outstanding meditation on what it means to suffer in ministry while in union with Christ.  Speaking quite honestly, I found Ryken’s lecture on this topic one of the most helpful and realistic (yet hopeful!) talks on pastoral ministry I’ve ever heard.

All media is free and ready to be distributed, linked to, and heard for the benefit of Christian faith and practice.
