July 18, 2024 Webinar #207 Dr Julie Maxwell - The Cass Review: Reaction and Implications
Recorded on 18 July 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Julie Maxwell
The clinical management of children who are questioning their gender or experiencing gender dysphoria is a hotly contested topic throughout the world. In 2020 NHS England commissioned an independent review of services for children with gender dysphoria. In April this year the final report was produced after almost 4 years of work and research.
The findings and recommendations have sparked interest and caused significant debate internationally. This webinar will look briefly at some of the key findings and recommendations.
Dr Julie Maxwell has over 20 years experience working in Community Paediatrics. She works for Lovewise, a charity which seeks to help parents, youth groups and schools by providing presentations and resources on the subjects of marriage, sex and relationships from a Christian perspective. These roles led Dr Maxwell to become interested in the management of gender dysphoria in children and over the past 8 years she has become increasingly involved in the debate both in secular clinical and Christian worlds. Dr Maxwell is particularly interested in how we as Christian medial professionals as well as churches can best support children who are questioning their gender and their families.

June 27, 2024 Webinar #204: Dr Lars Ljungström - Resourcing Ukrainian doctors – a story of hope
Recorded on 27 June 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Lars Ljungström
This webinar is about how, soon after the Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine, the Lord put together a most unlikely combination of five actors in order to support doctors and patients in Ukraine with large quantities of highly needed drugs.
It is also about the fact that God uses very ordinary persons, which hopefully can serve as an encouragement to many other fellow Christians.
The Christian Medical Association of Sweden, KLM, has had contact with their counterpart in Ukraine, CMAU, since 2011. Lars has visited Ukraine in 2016, 2017, 2023 and 2024.
Lars has been a member of the Swedish Christian Medical Association (KLM) since 1981, now serving as International Secretary.
For more than 30 years he has worked as an Infectious Disease Specialist in a 400-bed hospital in Skövde, Sweden. His special interests are sepsis, primary immunodeficiencies and HIV.
Since 2009 he has made annual trips to a mission hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, to help mainly with HIV patients. He and his wife have four children and seven grandchildren, and belong to a baptist church with around 150 members.

June 20, 2024 Webinar #203 Dr Steve Midgley - Equipping churches for biblical conversations
Recorded on 20 June 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Steve Midgley
Words matter. Every Christian believer knows that. The gospel comes to us as a word and with our words we can either praise or curse (James 3:9). Thinking about the way words are used in our churches, not just in our preaching, but also in our conversations is vital.
The Bible urges us toward a one-anothering ministry which encourages, exhorts and builds up – speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) is a crucial part of church life. This webinar will consider how encouraging godly conversational ministry helps us to love one another and builds up the body of Christ.

Steve MidgleyExecutive Director at BCUK
Steve Midgley is the Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK. He was, until 2022, the Senior Minister of Christ Church Cambridge where he continues to have a part-time role. Steve has taught courses in biblical counselling in a number of theological colleges as a visiting lecturer. Steve is a board member of CCEF and of the Biblical Counseling Coalition. He trained as a psychiatrist before being ordained. He is married to Beth, with three adult children and two grandsons.
