34. 200 Years of Open Brethren

Two centuries ago, a handful of Christ-followers had a radical idea: meeting together as believers without denominational trappings. This movement, which eventually became known as the Open Brethren, subsequently spread all over the world—including to Aotearoa NZ. Rosie talks to Dr. Ian Payne and Dr. Richard Goodwin about their recent trip to the birthplace of this 200-year-old movement (Dublin), what they learnt while celebrating its bicentenary, and what the lessons are for us today. #PathwaysBibleCollege #OpenBrethren #MoreThanTheology
