Many of our members are Christians and Christians have been staunch advocates for Israel the Western World.
However opinions are divided even amongst Christians as to the continuing relevance of Israel, the land, to Christians and their identity.
A few weeks ago, Laidlaw College hosted Stephen Sizer a vocal critic of Israel’s human rights record and Christian who believes that Israel has no particular relevance to Christians anymore.
This month Laidlaw is hosting a public lecture from Bob Mendelssohn who’s views are different again.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER

After graduating from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in Education in 1971 Bob worked as a high school maths teacher and became the founding pastor of a local church. Bob and his wife Patty also have Masters Degrees in Missiology from the Fuller School of World Mission in Pasadena, California.
