Discipleship in the Modern City


One of the key speakers at the recent Yarnfield Conference fior United Reformed Church Ministers was the Revd. Dr. Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and former Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. Williams retold the stories of three faithful women - Maria Skobtsova, Dorothy Day and Madeleine Delbrel. He used their lives as models of discipleship under the general title of ‘Discipleship in the Modern City’. Dr. Williams’ use of the stories of ordinary people who did remarkable things must have set many of us wondering as to who are the people we know and encounter who do extraordinary things and so live out an amazing discipleship. His talks were a reminder of the importance of faithfulness and that we can often find special things going on in the most unexpected places.
