Summary

Join us at The Dripping Blade Pub, where Paul Levy sips a Welsh cider awaiting the MoS Crew. Levy is the minister of International Presbyterian Church in West London, and he is also Carl Trueman's only friend. Once at the bar, they discuss Francis Schaeffer, L’Abri, and how “a God of love could allow the Welsh.” Levy gets right down to it: he discusses the denominational differences and obstacles of the Church across "The Pond" and why Americans are so enthralled by accents. The Crew talks strategy for pastoral ministry, sermon prep, and pastoral care that spans a variety of nationalities and geographical locales. The big question of the hour: What does Paul think of men who leave the UK to preach in America?If you have enjoyed this weeks Mortification of Spin then you will like this free audio download Church Discipline vs. Evangelism? by Mark Dever from The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin in a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman,
0:24.5	Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird. Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing
0:31.2	Evangelicals. Today, Carl, Todd, and Amy are in London, talking pastoral ministry in the UK,
0:37.4	and plenty more, with Paul Levy.
0:40.2	Despite what you may have heard, he does exist and he has a lot to offer in the discussion.

1:03.7	We're in the borough of Hanwell.
1:06.1	And we're hanging around in a pub called the White Heart,
1:10.5	also known to the Presbyterian community in Hanwell,
1:14.0	as the Dripping Blade for reasons that we really don't want to go into on air.
1:20.3	And we're meeting at the Dripping Blade because it is the haunt of a very good friend of mine.
1:26.9	Regular readers of Ref 21 will know the character Paul Levy.
1:32.2	When Paul first showed up on the blog a few years ago,

1:40.2	The tragedy is that Paul Levy actually really exists. He really does write like that. And,
1:48.6	you know, and heartbreakingly, he's married to the delightful Claire who, quite frankly, deserve to do a
1:56.8	lot better. But anyway, Paul. She's a very lucky woman. Yes, anyway.
2:02.2	Shut up until you've spoken to. It's great to have you on, Paul. I want to kick off with a softball
2:07.6	question. The Welsh, are they still necessary? Or maybe I could rephrase that. How could a god of love allow the Welsh?
2:22.1	It's got to be more than just to give us Tom Jones, right?
