I’m posting this long in advance to let friends in the UK know that I will be coming to the UK in July of 2026 to be the lead speaker for the CMJ-UK 2026 Annual Conference. I will be speaking three times over the weekend.
The conference will be held at the Yarnfield Park Conference Centre.
Yarnfield Park
Yarnfield
Stone ST15 0NL,
UK
Yarnfield Park is off M6 between between Manchester and Birmingham, near Stoke-on-Trent.
More information will come soon with conference details. (I’m speak on a zoom for CMJ-UK on Sept. 10, 2025.) I hope you will join me! Here’s what I’ll be speaking about:
Reading the Bible as an Insider
The Bible contains much more good news than Christians imagine. Heard in its ancient Near Eastern context, we find novel, earth-shattering ideas from the very first page of Genesis. In its native setting we see themes winding through Old and New Testaments that proclaim powerful truths from beginning to end.
The Way the World Was…And Still Is
I’ve been exploring the Bible with a scholar who has a surprising amount of “insider” knowledge of the biblical text. Together we’ve been discovering why Scripture is so difficult for modern readers to understand.
How God Used the Torah to Teach the World
Believe it or not, the most fundamental ethics of our society have been transformed by the Scriptures of Israel. The Torah forms the bedrock of some of our most basic beliefs about theology, sin, forgiveness, justice and ethics.
The Fascinating Story of Slavery
Readers are shocked by the fact that the Bible didn’t prohibit slavery, but regulated it instead. If you know the wider context of world history, though, you’ll see how the Bible undermined slavery and brought it to an end.
I recorded a brief invitation and overview for my talks. Check it out below:
I hope you will join me in the UK in 2026!
UK friends, please note: I would be happy to do more speaking while on this trip to the UK. If you are interested in having me visit your congregation or study group in late June/early July, email me at tverberg @ ourrabbijesus.com and I’ll see if I can we can work out plans. (I once did a tour of the UK & Netherlands this way.)
Email me or add a comment below if you’d like me to keep you informed of my plans.

CMJ stands for the Church’s Ministry to the Jews, and refers to the Anglican church in the United Kingdom.
The mission of CMJ-UK:
“We believe the mandate God has given to us is to be a witness to the Jewish People about the Messiah, and to educate the Church on the Jewish roots of her faith and understanding that God has not finished with Israel. We also believe that God is doing a restorative work between His people, as through Yeshua the dividing walls between us are being broken down.”
