“Earlier this year however, he came under intense criticism and was dropped from several radio stations when, during a recent program of Truth for Life, Begg offered a scenario where a Christian woman called in saying that her grandson is about to marry a ‘transgendered person’ (either another man who has ‘transitioned’ to a ‘woman’, or a woman who has ‘transitioned’ into a ‘man’) and wanted to know if she should attend the wedding.”
(Protestia) During the September 9 evening service, Alistair Begg announced to the congregation of Parkside Church that he’ll be formally stepping down from his role as Senior Pastor in a year’s time.
In the last few weeks, I have informed the elders of the church of my decision to relinquish my role as the senior pastor here at Parkside. Not tonight, not tomorrow night, and not for twelve months of nights. But on the fourteenth of September, 2025, God willing, I will make it that long.
…that particular day will be fifty years since I began with Derek Prime at Charlotte Chapel. It will be forty-nine years since I was ordained to the gospel ministry, and it will be forty-two years from the time that Sue and I had the privilege of beginning ministry here at what was then the chapel in Beechwood.”
