John Stott would like his many friends around the world to know that, having reached the age of 86 in April, he has taken the decision finally to retire from public ministry after fulfilling one final speaking engagement at the upcoming Keswick Convention in July.
He will be moving from his flat in central London where he has lived for more than 30 years, to a retirement community for Anglican clergy in the south of England, which will be able to provide more fully for his present and future needs. Dr Stott has made this decision with the strong belief that it is God's provision for him at this stage.

Though I have disagreed with Stott on various political issues and on a couple of theologicial points, he is clearly one of the finest Bible expositors of the last 50 years. I have enjoyed a number of his books, but his Bible commentaries have greatly enriched both my soul and my preaching. I praise God for his faithful ministry and pray that he will see God's mercies renenwed every morning during his final years.
