SUMMARY:The Whitley Lecture 2026 with Rev Dr Paulus de Jong
DESCRIPTION:Reconciliation – “From Estrangement to Embrace: Scriptural Storylines and the Gospel’s Vision of Reconciliation.” \nIn this lecture\, Rev Dr Paulus de Jong will consider three particular Gospel narratives to consider the topic of interpersonal reconciliation. Focusing on the visit of the Magi in Matthew’s Gospel; the story of the Samaritan women in John’s Gospel; and the story of Zacchaeus in Luke’s Gospel\, Rev Dr de Jong will argue that these stories are rooted in larger scriptural storylines as ‘profound examples of the reconciling power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ – a power capable of transforming estranged families\, divided tribes\, and treacherous enemies.’ \nThe event will be held onsite in Paisley Baptist Church and livestreamed online. Booking required via Eventbrite \nRev Dr. Paulus de Jong \nPaulus was born in the Netherlands and lived in Scotland between 2016-2024 where he was studying at St Andrews University. Latterly during his time in Scotland\, he was a minister at St Andrews Baptist Church and lecturer at the Scottish Baptist College. Paulus returned to the Netherlands to take up positions at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences and at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. He holds a BA in Theology from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam\, a ministry degree from the Dutch Baptist Seminary\, and an MLitt and PhD in Biblical studies from the University of St Andrews. He is married and has two daughters and a son. A long-time friend of SBC\, we are very much looking forward to having Paulus back visiting us at the Scottish Baptist College! \nWhitley Lectures \nThe Whitley Lecture was first established in 1949 in honour of WT Whitley (1861–1947)\, the Baptist minister and historian. Following a pastorate in Bridlington\, during which he also taught at Rawdon College in Yorkshire\, Whitley became the first Principal of the Baptist College of Victoria in Melbourne\, Australia\, in 1891. This institution was later renamed Whitley College in his honour. \nWhitley was a key figure in the formation of the Baptist Historical Society in 1908. He edited its journal\, which soon gained an international reputation for the quality of its contents – a reputation it still enjoys nearly a century later as the ‘Baptist Quarterly’. His ‘A History of British Baptists’ (London: Charles Griffin\, 1923) remains an important source of information and comment for contemporary historians. Altogether he made an important contribution to Baptist life and self-understanding in Britain and Australia\, providing a model of how a pastor-scholar might enrich the life and faith of others. \nThe establishment of the annual lecture in his name is designed as an encouragement to research and writing by Baptist scholars\, and to enable the results of this work to be published. The giving of grants\, advice and other forms of support by the Lectureship Committee serves the same purpose. The committee consists of representatives of the British Baptist Colleges\, the Baptist Union of Great Britain\, BMS World Mission\, the Baptist Ministers’ Fellowship\, and the Baptist Historical Society. These organisations also provide financial support for its work.

SUMMARY:Anabaptism at 500 - What did the Anabaptists ever do for us?
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday March 12th at 5:30pm for a talk exploring the influence and legacy of the Anabaptist movement on contemporary life. Ruth Gouldbourne will explore the Anabaptist movement and touch on themes such as toleration\, women’s freedom\, pacifism\, and the place of experience in truth-telling. It promises to be an informative and thought-provoking event by one of the UK’s leading advocates of the Anabaptist movement. \nRuth has been a Baptist minister for 37 years. She has served in Bedford\, in London and is now in Cheadle Hulme outside Manchester. She also taught history and doctrine for 12 years at the Baptist College in Bristol. Her research interests include the Radical Reformation (which was the subject of her doctoral thesis)\, and questions of Baptist history\, identity and ecclesiology. \nShe remains a Senior research fellow with Bristol College\, is also a Senior research fellow with IBTSC\, and has taught for Spurgeons and NBC. (She is hoping to achieve the set of Baptist Colleges before she retires.) \nShe has been married to Ian for 40 years and counts that a huge privilege. \nShe enjoys theatre\, reading whodunits and building dolls houses. \nThe event is free but ticketed. Tickets are available from Eventbrite here

SUMMARY:Whitley Lecture 2023 with Rev Linda Hopkins
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday March 9th 2023 we are pleased to host Rev Linda Hopkins to give her Whitley Lecture presentation on “Learning from Young People’s Experiences of Communion: Re-envisioning the Meal as a Space for Nurturing Faith“. This will have both an on-campus and online option for attendance with Rev Linda Hopkins presenting online. \nLinda Hopkins is a Baptist Minister with a portfolio ministry\, working in a freelance capacity as spiritual director\, mentor and coach to individuals and church groups.  In 2005 she trained in youth ministry at CYM\, Ridley Hall\, Cambridge\, and achieved a first-class honours degree in Youth and Community Work and Applied Theology (including JNC). She has worked as church and community (detached) youth worker and was a tutor with Oasis Youth Ministry\, London\, for four years before returning to the North West to work as Regional Tutor in the NWBA and NBA for Northern Baptist College.  She has an MA in Reflective Practice and Applied Theology and is completing her doctoral research in Contextual Theology at Luther King House\, Manchester. She recently served Waterloo United Free Church\, Merseyside (Baptist/URC)\, as their minister.  She lives in West Lancashire with her husband Peter\, and they have two adult children. \nIn her abstract for the lecture\, Linda asks whether we leave “adolescents to work out for themselves their sense of place within our practices of faith?” She goes on to suggest “we should appreciate the potentiality of young people as they are\, as those who bring fresh perspective\, and whom the adult church can learn from.” Informed by the voices of young people\, At the heart of her argument\, she considers that “Baptist communion\, as an important ritual\, is a place for the potential nurture of faith for all…argu[ing] that we may want to reconsider our practice of communion\, to enrich the experience as a place for being and becoming the body of Christ.” \nThe Whitley Lecture this year promises to be a thought-provoking\, relevant\, and helpful engagement with practices of faith and how we consider young people in these practices. If you are within the vicinity of Paisley we encourage you to join us on-campus for the lecture and discussion\, but we will also be offering online access for those who cannot make it to Paisley. \nThe event is free to all but we ask that you register through Eventbrite. We will be gathering on-campus from 1:30pm for a prompt 2pm start and starting the online stream from 1:45pm. \nYou can register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whitley-lecture-2023-learning-from-experience-tickets-506041713387 and we will be in contact thereafter to provide details about on-campus or online attendance. \n \n

SUMMARY:Autumn Taster Day
DESCRIPTION:Around this time of year many soon-to-be school leavers will be asked to consider what they are planning to do next academic year in line with the UCAS application deadlines in a couple of month’s time. For those young people considering youth-work\, charity work\, chaplaincy\, or ministry\, or are simply interested in studying in a faith-based environment\, we’d love them to consider applying to join our Theology with Pastoral Studies\, Bachelor of Divnity degree programme. \nAlthough you’re not able to apply to SBC directly through UCAS\, all SBC modules and courses are validated by the University of the West of Scotland and for campus-based students\, we are located within the University itself in Paisley. We like to think of it as a normal University experience but with the added value of learning in a Christian community. You can study with us for a full four years or decide to exit early with a one-year Certificate\, two year Diploma or three year Ordinary degree. So whether you are looking for a full-time undergraduate course or a gap study year\, which will give you a valuable qualification at the end of it\, SBC could be the place for you. \nThe day will give you an opportunity to experience a day in the life of the College – some time spent within a typical class environment; an opportunity to hear about College life and ask questions; and time spent alongside other students in our social and devotional spaces. The day will begin at 10am and lunch will be provided\, finishing around 1:30pm. We’re not looking to “sell” you the College but we hope we can help you think about your future vocation and discern if we’re a good fit to help you get to where God is calling you. \nAnd the day isn’t just for school leavers! If you’re considering studying for the first time or retraining then please come along and to see what the College can offer you \nIf you’d like to register for the Taster Day then please email Graham on graham.meiklejohn@uws.ac.uk \n**We also offer all our classes through online or hybrid teaching\, usually with evening classes for those who are in part-time or full-time work\, so if you can’t make it to Paisley but are still interested in studying with us\, then please get in contact and we can arrange a conversation to explore study options for you.**

SUMMARY:Church in the Neighbourhood
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free seminar led by rector of the Baptist Seminary in Amsterdam\, Dr Hans Riphagen. It promises to be a stimulating workshop with some great practical advice for churches wanting to engage with their local communities. We’d love you to join us on-campus for a video link-up with Hans and the opportunity for discussion with students\, staff\, and visitors\, but you can also join us directly on Zoom to listen in on what Hans is sharing. \nIs ‘church-in-the-neighbourhood’ a promising direction for missional church renewal or is it just another trend that will fade away? This seminar stems from a research project\, which explores the possibilities of new forms of church in a suburban neighbourhood in Utrecht.  \nDuring the workshop Hans Riphagen will:  \n• introduce his research\, and also help us reflect about our own situatedness in the place where we live\n• present the findings of his research\, including how individual Christians as well as Christian communities relate to suburban neighbourhoods; and\, what does this mean for contextual community formation\n• provide opportunities for us to discuss the consequences of this research for our own missional practice  \nTo register your interest and receive information about joining us on-campus in Paisley or online via Zoom\, then please email Graham on graham.meiklejohn@uws.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Do you aspire to make a difference? They might not say it like this but all of our students hope that they can make a difference in the lives of those around them and their wider communities. Some of graduates have gone on to become teachers helping to shape the next generation; some go on to become leaders in mission and ministry working with marginalised people to make their lives better; yet others become youth leaders and church ministers working within their local communities to bring help and hope to those who most need it. Though it might not seem like it from the outside\, studying at SBC is a life-changing experience and draws out the world-changer inside you. \nThrough our Bachelor of Divinity degree programme you get the opportunity to engage deeply with theology through issues of real life and you are equipped to make a difference whatever path you follow next. Being at the Scottish Baptist College stretches and shapes your thinking allowing you to critically engage with ideas and events of the contemporary world. The degree programme invites you to develop your strengths through learning in discussion and hone your skills through practice in placements. Undoubtedly you leave SBC changed for the better\, better equipped\, and better able to move on to your next chapter in life. \nWe believe that training for mission and ministry (in the broadest sense) should be accessible to all and at the heart of our learning is a welcoming and accepting community. Whether joining for one module or a full programme\, we hope that every student will flourish and move on towards their fullest potential. We offer online evening study and on-campus day-time options for distance students or to work around your other commitments. \nTo join our learning community in September 2022 register for our upcoming Open Day to hear more about the programme and ask any questions you might have – email Graham Meiklejohn on graham.meiklejohn@uws.ac.uk for more information or to register.

SUMMARY:Exploration Evening - August 10th
DESCRIPTION:Typically we’d hold Open Days at SBC for prospective students to come and find out about the College. But this year. we’re taking a slightly different approach. We want to invite you to an Exploration Evening – we’ll explore what the College has to offer\, but we also want to discover a bit more about you\, your hopes and your calling! We want to talk together and explore how we can best help to develop your call. We want you to discover what we have to offer and if SBC is a good fit for you; and we want to discover what works for you and how we can help. Rather than a large Open Day\, we’re intentionally keeping these small and often\, making them easily accessible and harnessing the potential for conversation.\n\nOn Tuesday 10th August at 7:00pm\, we’ll hold our Exploration Evening where we’ll give over some time to painting a picture of College life\, but much of the time will be given over to your questions and space will be made for one-to-one or small group conversations to help you figure out how study can work for you. We expect it will just be about an hour to an hour and half and we’ll wrap up around 8:30pm.\n\nIn order to make it accessible to as wide a group as possible we’re holding this online via Zoom – which we think works well for conversation and questions! To register for more information please email graham.meiklejohn@uws.ac.uk

How does our struggle for truth in public life relate to that of other peoples and places\, such as in the old Soviet bloc and Nazi Germany? What are we learning about the nature of truth and its significance in public life? Might the concept of a covenant of truthful political speech be helpful as a way forward? \nDr. David P.

He is author and/or editor of 24 books and approximately 150 book chapters\, journal articles\, and reviews.

He is a classic novel reader\, world traveler\, and tennis player\, and awaits a call from his beloved Atlanta Braves to resume the baseball career he abandoned in college. \nA free event\, hosted in conjunction with the University of the West of Scotland.

He had broadcast regularly on radio and television and increased his journalistic work.” (Adapted from: www.intbau.org/members/alexander-stoddart/) \nAlexander Stoddart is also Sculptor in Ordinary to Her Majesty The Queen in Scotland and to give you a flavour of what to expect (if anything can be “expected” with Sandy!)\, in an interview for the Scotsman he talks of “dipping into the New Testament every day” and thinks “the Broons should be forced down the throat of every Scottish child.” (Both very good practices in my opinion). Read the extended interview here:\nwww.scotsman.com/lifestyle/culture/art/sculptor-sandy-stoddart-on-his-art-1-3256577 \nWe’re pleased and excited to have Professor Stoddart with us again following his fascinating seminar last academic year (on Van Gogh and religion). These seminars are open to alumni\, friends\, and supporters of the College\, as well as the wider public who feel they would benefit from engaging with the topic. We do hope you’ll join us. \nFor further information please contact Graham Meiklejohn on graham.meiklejohn@uws.ac.uk
