We are releasing three issues of Stimulus over the next three weeks with all pieces devoted to the COVID-19 phenomenon. In this, first issue, we have a wide range of articles, poems, and a humour piece, written from people in lockdown.

Professor John Lennox interviewed by Dr Roshan Allpress about his recent and timely book, Where is God in a Coronavirus world?

It was a privilege to honour Tim Meadowcroft with this collection of essays on his retirement. The title of the book, Holding Forth the Word of Life, is from Phil 2:16 and is the Laidlaw College motto (forming part of our logo), and was also how Tim understood his teaching ministry.

In March 2020 Laidlaw College hosted Rev Dr Paul Beasley-Murray, well-known British Baptist minister with an international reputation as a preacher, author, and blogger. While at Laidlaw to teach a post-graduate course on vocational leadership within the church, he also gave a public lecture, “Everybody has a story – so let’s tell it!”.

Various organisations and groups have opened up access to their resources during this difficult time. Here's a collated list of Extra Resources During Lockdown.
