"The Wesleyan Methodist Church of New Zealand will host "The Stream," a theological symposium featuring well-known theologians. According to New Zealand National Superintendent, Rev. Richard Waugh, the event is slated to take place on July 30-August 1, 2009, in Auckland. Symposium speakers will include Dr. Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary; Dr. Tom Noble, Nazarene Theological College, England; and Rev. Richard Waugh, Wesleyan Methodist Church of New Zealand." (I grabbed this from Wesleyan E-Zine)
This is so cool, I wish I could be there for this! Dr. Ben Witherington III wrote some of the books we used in class at Houghton and I really appreciated his work. "He is frequently interviewed by the Christian and secular media on biblical matters and was one of the New Testament experts consulted by Lee Strobel for his influential "The Case for Christ" book. He is recognized as one of the top evangelical scholars in the world." I am pumped for the church of New Zealand that they will get a chance to interact and dialog with him.
