Counsel and Care Among Christ\u2019s People: Reformed & Confessional Counselling
Advertisement
One-day event exploring biblical counselling firmly rooted in the Reformed and confessional tradition. Hosted by IRBS UK and Broken Wharfe.
About this Event

This is not simply another introduction to biblical counselling. It is an attempt to fill a noticeable gap within the biblical counselling world. A vision of care that is:

• deeply theological,
• thoroughly ecclesial,
• unapologetically confessional,
• and historically rooted in the Puritan and Reformed pastoral tradition.

While appreciating and learning from the strengths of broader biblical counselling movements, we seek to build a model that is consistent with historic Reformed anthropology, sanctification and the ordinary means of grace.

Each attendee will receive a complimentary resource bag including: A small biblical counselling book. Pamphlets and materials from ACBC UK, IRBS UK, and Broken Wharfe. Notepad and pen.

A book table with relevant resources will be available throughout the day.
