The gospel-centered church

Kim Shippey

In October, 800 people from many different churches and denominations gathered in the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, 30 miles north of Boston, for an all-day celebration in prayer, song, and conversation of the 125th anniversary of the founding of Vision New England.

This is an organization committed to “intentional” and “relational” evangelism among the “diverse members of the body of Christ” in the northeastern United States, bringing them together regularly, so that they can be more effective in “kingdom building.”

The keynote speaker was Timothy Keller, founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian in Manhattan, New York, which has a weekly attendance of over 5,000.
