I am pleased to announce that a new interest group is being launched today - "Leadership" led by Jay Eastman who is based in Berlin. The Leadership Interest Group is not focused on any particular group of leaders but is open to anyone who wants to develop their leadership whether in a church, Christian or secular organisation.

Jay has kindly volunteered to lead this group and our vision is to provide each one of you with video, audio, and written content to strengthen, sharpen, and help you grow as a servant-leader in Christ. We wish to equip and encourage you as God's instrument guiding generations and influencing cultures for His Kingdom. This month you'll find leadership wisdom from Nola Leach, CEO of Care, great questions from Bobb Biehl, and a call from Psalm 51 to turn our hearts again to God by Joel Virgo.

Pablo Martinez recently ran a webinar on "The Christian Leader and the Care of Him/Her self" that was very well received with much discussion at the end. More webinars are planned and the next is Richard Winter who will speak on "A Biblical Framework for Pastoral Counseling" on April 28th at 18.00 GMT. Leaders often need to help people in their group with life's problems and this webinar will help to equip us in doing that.

Although "Leadership" is open to anyone you will still need to sign up for webinars. In due course we will add a private section for people to post news and prayer requests.

I am delighted to announce that we have now added over 600 audio talks from previous European Leadership Forum meeting. These feature speakers from Jerram Barrs speaking on Tolkien, Volker Kessler on Power Addicts in the Church and Ravi Zacharias on Flirting with the Truth. There are around 80 speakers featured and the talks are arranged in an iTunes like player sorted in playlists by speaker name. I hope to add a full text search capability eventually to make searching even easier. The titles are extracted automatically from the audio files so you may occasionally find an incomplete title and there may also be the odd talk that is duplicated!

We are working hard on bringing more ELF resources onto the site particularly video recordings from previous meetings.

I trust that you will find much blessing in these resources.

WEBINAR - Wednesday 13 April 18:00 (GMT+1)

Philosopher Peter S. Williams will examine the accusation that Christianity is 'unscientific'. By paying careful attention to what is meant by both 'science' and 'Christianity', Peter will argue on the one hand that while Christianity is indeed unscientific, this does not matter, and on the other hand that far from being 'anti-scientific' Christianity actually provides warrant for various philosophical assumptions of science, to which it actually gave birth in the first place. Peter will also propose an apologetic strategy for dealing with objections of the 'Christianity is unscientific' variety.
