Webinar #237 Dr Mark Pickering - Lessons from the early UK Christian Medical Movement

Recorded on 6 March 2025 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Mark PickeringThe founding General Secretary of CMF UK, Dr Douglas Johnson, said ‘it is inexcusable for a Christian to neglect history’. The Bible itself is essentially an historical narrative, recorded so that we, many years later, can ‘learn the lessons of history’ – to be encouraged by the examples (and frailties) of those who went before us, and perhaps to avoid some of their mistakes.What can we learn from those UK Christian doctors, nurses and students who changed history in the 19th and early 20th Century?Dr Mark Pickering is the Chief Executive of CMF (UK/Ireland). He is based in London where he also works as a secure environment GP (in prisons and similar institutions). He previously led student ministry for CMF UK and for ICMDA. In these roles he has developed many partnerships with organizations in student ministry, bioethics and advocacy, global mission and evangelism/apologetics. He has a long-term interest in apologetics, particularly around biblical reliability, Islam and science/faith issues.To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
