Essentially One: Striving For The Unity God Loves Jonathan Lamb is a familiar face to many of us at Myton Church. For many years he has been a regular speaker in our morning services and some of us will have come across him through his work with the Keswick Convention or with students.   Yesterday saw the launch of Jonathan's latest book. In it he explores the unity amongst his people that was on Christ's heart even as he headed to the cross. He describes it as a book that 'seeks to call God’s people to ‘make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit’. It introduces the vision and purpose of unity in the scriptures, and then tackles some of the practical challenges which local churches face in areas such as handling differences, managing conflict and division, strengthening partnerships, building a united fellowship and much else'.     But perhaps you want to hear him explain it.

Timon Hynes expected to spending the summer term working alongside the students on Warwick University Campus. Instead he his living in the west country. Read what life looks like for him. Timon Hynes 1. Introduce yourself Hi Timon, and I attended Myton Church during my time at Warwick University, and for this year while working at the Uni as a Relay worker - working with the Christian Union and UCCF. 2. What impact has the current lockdown had on you?    Lock down has meant the shutdown of the university, and so my work has changed in a lot of ways! I have moved back to my home town in Barnstaple, Devon, as all of my work is now done online. Which is very strange to be living back with my parents and brother all in the same house again. 3.

Talking with/supporting students, planning evangelistic ideas with the CU, and re...
