Church Missionary Society - TasmaniaDevelopments since SummerView 2007 in January have led to changes of dates and speakers for 2008. Please note carefully; these are different from previously advised… SummerView 2008 will now be held from the evening of Thursday 10 January to Sunday 13 January ending mid-afternoon. SpeakersRose Dowsett has been called 'the finest missiologist in the world'. She and her husband Dick have been members of OMF International since 1969. Rose spent eight years in Asia training workers and 20 in Glasgow teaching church history and missiology at the Glasgow Bible College (now the International Christian College, Glasgow). She developed and established the first undergraduate degree in missiology in the UK. Rose is the international chairperson for Interserve and the World Evangelical Alliance's mission commission co-ordinator of the global missiology taskforce. For an insight into Rose's background and thinking, see the interview entitled From Marxist to Christian .

Previous to this he has held posts at Northwest Baptist Theological Seminary, Richmond College and Central Baptist Seminary. He has served for several years as a pastor and has travelled in Canada and the UK teaching and preaching. Professor Carson is a brilliant communicator, with great expertise in radio and TV ministry, and has written over 40 books. Carson's areas of expertise include biblical theology, the historical Jesus, postmodernism, pluralism, Greek grammar, Johannine theology, Pauline theology, and questions of suffering and evil. He has written books on free will and predestination. He is a member of the Tyndale Fellowship for Biblical Research, the Society of Biblical Literature, the Evangelical Theological Society, the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies, and the Institute for Biblical Research.

AccommodationParticipants of all ages at SummerView 2007 gave Camp Banksia, the new venue, a resounding 'thumbs up' whilst providing constructive feedback to the committee about further improvements to consider. Camp Management has indicated that bringing additional caravans and tents onsite may not be allowed this year. The committee plans to maximise use of the cabins to ensure as many folk as possible can live onsite. If you plan to camp or bring a van, you are strongly urged to contact the caravan parks very nearby as soon as possible - both are heavily booked as summer approaches. These are Moomba Caravan Park, Ph. 6428 6140 and Port Sorell Lions Club Caravan Park, Ph. 6428 7267. The Port Sorell area has many options for accommodation, from Bed and Breakfast establishments to fully serviced apartments. Application forms will be available towards the middle of the year, and a preliminary reservation form will be found on the CMS and Diocesan websites shortly. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact the committee if you have questions.
