The Keswick Convention has been a great British Christian institution; not a building or a permanent feature. It is a large convention held in the Summer of each year in Keswick, a town situated in the Lake District (NW England) surrounded by mountains (English ones; fairly small but beautiful) and lakes (also fairly small when compared with some of the monsters you have on your side of the water). Try...http://www.keswickconv.com/...for more details.It was originally convened as a venue where the best known preachers of 'the deeper life' shared a platform. Generally it might have been described as 'knowledge on fire'. Solid bible teaching but always with a slant towards 'a life of overcoming', usually on the lines of counter-active sanctification, rather than eradication. It was (and is, though now much less so) a great gathering of Christians across all the major denominations who believed in 'deeper life'. Older recordings will be much more along the lines of 'sanctification'.Keswick has been the scene for some wonderful preaching. Donald Grey Barnhouse was a great favourite. Recently it has become more identified with the conservative evangelical position and the distinctive of 'deeper life' preaching has almost disappeared. The majority of Keswick speakers have naturally come from England, but many have come from other parts of the world. Among the better known are Donald G. Barnhouse, F. B. Meyer, H. C. G. Moule, Andrew Murray, John R. W. Stott, Hudson Taylor, and R. A. Torrey, A.T.Pierson, Evan H. Hopkins, J.Elder Cummings, E.W.Moore, Ehas Inwood, Webb Peploe, G. Campbell-Morgan, W.Griffith-Thomas, W.G.Scroggie. One famous Keswick character was Amy Carmichael whose writings are wonderful and always worth reading.someone asked!His/YoursRon B
