Good Turnout for West Memorial Trust Lecture

Yates spoke on the sufficiency of Scripture; “How Do We Hear God and How Do We Know It is God Speaking?”
Yates, son of the former Rector of The Falls Church in Virginia, the Revd John W Yates II, earned a PhD from Cambridge University before becoming a research assistant for John Stott between 1996-1999. He was a prominent speaker at the GAFCON Conference in Nairobi in 2013.
