This has been a 35-year journey for me in addition to my regular pastoral ministry.\u00a0 During this time I have written and published Aletheia, a monthly paper containing pertinent articles and book reviews.\u00a0 These are listed here in various helpful categories. The latest is GPS: Grandparents, Parents, and Seniors, in which I try to encourage my own generation and those coming behind us.\u00a0 A few years ago my sister Debra Conley and I conducted study trips to England and Scotland called “Discovering Baptist History Tours<\/a>.”\u00a0 Watch the short video of those trips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This page is written from a Baptist, conservative, and dispensational point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
