| Plans for new counselling course |
 |
| Oak Hill and the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) in the USA are planning the introduction of a new counselling course specifically designed to deliver the benefits of CCEF's training courses in the UK. |
|
| Steve Midgley, who ran the recent CCEF Changing Hearts conference in the UK, says: 'Helping make biblical counselling more widely available in the UK is something I am hugely excited about and I am delighted that Oak Hill College share that passion. I am very pleased to be involved in delivering this new training opportunity.' |
|
| Mike Ovey, the Principal of Oak Hill College, says: 'Equipping men and women for pastoral ministry is what Oak Hill is all about. Working with CCEF to bring this much-needed biblical approach to pastoral ministry in the UK is a fantastic opportunity.' |

| Nick Tucker writes: As the second reading of the Government's Marriage (same sex couples) Bill draws tantalisingly close, it's hard to remember a single issue since the Poll Tax that has caused so much political disquiet and been so polarising. On the side of those in favour of opening up the definition of marriage to include couples of the same sex, the opposition to this move is entirely incomprehensible. Comedian Marcus Brigstocke tweeted yesterday: |
|
| Is there a reason why those opposing equal marriage feel justified in objecting to being described as bigots? |
|
| Why wouldn't he think that? After all David Cameron himself claims that he is in favour of same sex marriage precisely because he is a conservative. Marriage is a good thing, which brings many social benefits, how can excluding people from it be anything but an injustice? |
