Richard Topping, Montreal, healthy theology for healthy churches. Richard Topping is the senior minister of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul in downtown Montreal. Most English speaking churches in the center of Montreal are struggling and many have closed. The “A & P” is thriving, attracting a wide cross section of new worshippers including many students from nearby McGill University. This renewed vigour does not arise from techniques but from a theologically informed preaching of the Gospel. Dr. Topping will deliver the keynote address, "Getting A Grip: Theology and Church Life" and also speak on urban churches.
