2024 Speakers

Rev. Dr Ian Densham, who was for many years, the Pastor of Zion Community Church in St. Ives and Droylsden Independent Church. He is a visiting lecturer at Bible seminaries in the Philippines. Not only is he a speaker at many conferences, he has been responsible for recording many of the lectures.

Rt. Rev. Dominic Stockford left the Roman Catholic ministry in 1993, and was brought to Christ in 1995. He has been the Pastor of Christ Church Teddington since 2001. He has contributed articles and reviews to the 'Protestant Truth' magazine and has been chairman of the Protestant Truth Society since 2010. Amongst other writings he has contributed a chapter to Rev. Richard Bennett's seminal work, "Far from Rome, Near to God", and has reviewed a number of books for the Evangelical Times.

Joe Busfield grew up and still lives in the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania, U.S.  He was raised in the traditional Reformed Episcopal church.  

He earned a B.S. degree from Drexel University majoring in mechanical engineering and went on to earn a Master of Business Administration from LaSalle University majoring in management and finance.  

At a point in his career, he operated a gas (petrol) station and had the time and opportunity to attend the Reformed Episcopal Seminary part-time well before it was moved into the Anglo-Catholic realm.  During this time, he become more and more convinced of the biblical basis of reformed theology and developed a keen interest in the English Reformation.  Joe was once described in a Reformed Episcopal Council as "the lowest churchman in the denomination", a description he cherishes.  

But as the" lowest churchman", he is no longer associated with the Reformed Episcopal Church due to its return to Anglo-Catholicism and, by God's grace was welcomed into the Evangelical Connexion of the Free Church of England, was ordained a deacon to represent the EC-FCE in the US and he maintains his membership in that group.

Joe's paternal heritage is traced to Bradford, Yorkshire, three generations past and still speaks a form of the native tongue.  His maternal heritage is Polish. He does not speak that native tongue.
