I'll read it with interest. Simeon played a simliar role as Barnabas in the life of Paul. I think it the Simeons of today are a key to releasing a new generation of leaders for church planting.

Sounds like something he would do. Do you have a source for that, I'd like to track it down. Andrew, I hadn’t heard about the publishing profits being used to place leaders in strategic parishes.

While God was using him greatly to mentor emerging leaders, his local church ministry was a battle. At one point the congregation locked him out of the church! He was gracious, persistent and true to the gospel in the face of this. An example of how God uses set backs in the life of a leader to build character and spiritual authority. No one understands this better than Bobby Clinton. His latest post is on spiritual authority: www.bobbyclinton.com You’re right.

The bloke must've been a radical to get such a strong reaction as that! Didn’t Simeon also have his parishoners boycott his services at Cambridge, locking out the students who did wish to attend?

You probably know this but he also wrote devotional phamphlets which raised quite a sum of money which he use to 'buy' the parishes for his protegees. These churches were going to rich families who bought them. In all I think there were 1,100 students sent out from his ministry and mentoring across the UK. Quite an astounding record and a big challenge to some of the current Christian publishing industry who take lots of the profits personally rather then follow Simeon's humble record to send leaders.
