Iranian Centre for Christian Culture and Thought

Last night I spent a lovely evening with friends at the Iranian Christian Fellowship in Chiswick, London, at the invitation of Iranian Centre for Christian Culture and Thought.

I gave a presentation on Christian Zionism and together we examined the relationship between Israel and the Church found in the Scriptures. You can read the presentation here. After some traditional Iranian refreshments we had a stimulating question time.

The congregation is young and dynamic, committed to evangelism and discipleship, especially among the Iranian community in the UK. On Sundays they hold services in Farsi and Armenian.

For some excellent resources on Islam check out Malcolm Steer's A Christian's Evangelistic Pocket Guide to Islam and A Muslim's Pocket Guide to Christianity.

For an informative introduction to Christianity in Iran, see Mark Bradley's, Iran and Christianity.

I wrote this short review of the book recently. "Mark Bradley clearly knows Iran and the Iranian people. Dealing honestly with the historical and political identity of Iran as well as the growth and suffering of the Iranian church, the book reads like a novel, I did not want to put it down.With so much mutual misunderstanding and mistrust between the United States and Iran, this is an important and timely book. It deserves a wide readership. I hope it dispels ignorance and helps diffuse tensions between Iran and the West. It should become a standard popular text on the development of Christianity in Iran."
