Christianity Prepares to Bid John Stott Farewell

The much-loved veteran preacher John Stott, whose books and teachings have impacted the lives of thousands of Christians around the globe, will draw his public ministry to a close this summer when he fulfils his final speaking engagement at this year's Keswick Convention on Tuesday 17 July.

Peter Maiden, the chair of the Convention council, said, "We are delighted that Dr Stott has chosen to speak at Keswick for the last time, and are grateful for the immense blessings he has brought to the convention over the years."

Dr Stott is revered the world over for his life of ministry. The world famous evangelist Rev Billy Graham testified him as "the most respected clergyman in the world today".
