November 7th 2011 - Don Cormack – Lessons from the Killing Fields
A Call to Humility and Radical Obedience
Don was raised by his widowed mother on a farm in Sussex after his father was ‘killed in action’ in World War II, just before he was born. At 18, he went to Canada to ‘seek his fortune’. This he found when he committed his life to Jesus Christ while at university. He sensed an immediate call to serve Christ in Asia. Don arrived in SE Asia in 1972. For the next 24 years, he served in Malaysia, Taiwan, Cambodia, Thailand and Singapore, studying their languages and working in church planting, teaching & discipling. His award winning ‘Killing Fields, Living Fields’ tells the painful story of the Cambodian church. He is married to Margaret and they have 3 daughters. Don has completed graduate studies in Cambodian at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, and in Theology at Regent College, Vancouver. He recently retired from Dean Close School where he and Margaret have been teaching for the past 15 years.

Tony is the author of Focus: The Art and Soul of Cinema and Dark Matter: A Thinking Fan’s Guide to Philip Pullman, as well as co-author of a number of other books, including one on Doctor Who and one on the Matrixtrilogy.

January 24th 2011 – Michael Green – But don’t all religions lead to God?
Michael Green is a Lecturer at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. For some years he was a Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, where he taught Evangelism, Apologetics and some New Testament Studies and latterly worked with Professor Alister McGrath in setting up and teaching the Certificate in Christian Apologetics. Subsequently he has been helping to grow a start-up Anglican Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, and is now back at Oxford with the Oxford Centre. His recently published works include The Books the Church Suppressed, a repudiation of the Coptic Gospels on which the Da Vinci Code relied, and I’d like to believe, but … He is an evangelist first and foremost, a New Testament scholar, a teacher, a writer, a fly fisherman and a cricket and a rugby enthusiast.

November 9th 2009 Robin Oake – Explosives Beware!
Robin Oake KStJ QPM LL.B former Chief Constable
Robin Oake was the former Chief Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary.
Robin Oake’s son Stephen was murdered while on duty as a Manchester policeman. Just how did he manage to forgive.
When Robin Oake’s son, Special Branch officer Stephen, was killed by a terrorist while on duty, a press conference was called.
A journalist asked, “Mr Oake, what do you think about the man who killed your son?” and received a startling reply: “I don’t know the man or the circumstances but from my heart I forgive him.”
Another journalist said, ” What?!” and our response may well be the same.
