Martin Ansdell-Smith, MBE

On Monday 17th March, 2025 we celebrated the life of our dear brother, Martin Ansdell-Smith, MBE, who went to be with his Lord, Tuesday 4th March, after over 40 years in this church. He was a humble follower of Jesus who was also a consummate theologian and Bible scholar, who preached in the church many times. He was also an expert in computer security and other related fields, for which he was awarded MBE for his services thereto.

Martin was the original designer and maintainer of this website, until May 2024.

Talks were recorded during the Pandemic up to the end of 2022. Then there was a hiatus, with only a few talks being made available, which will be supplied when available. From April 2025 we hope to provide material to at least some of the talks.
