Tolle Lege Institute

I met Dariusz Brycko while we were students at Gordon-Conwell. I've always been impressed by his personal warmth, theological integrity, and passion for the gospel to flourish in his native Poland. Dariusz, who recently completed a Ph.D. at Calvin under Richer Muller, is spearheading a new ministry called the Tolle Lege Institute. Here's how the website describes the purpose of the Institute and it's strategy.

1. Our Purpose

The goal of Tolle Lege Institute is to support the educational efforts of Protestant churches in Poland with special commitment to Reformed and historically Evangelical confessions.

2. How do you plan to accomplish your purpose?

We seek to accomplish our purpose by:

      • Translating and publishing print materials into Polish

      • Distributing English books and educational materials

      • Providing theological resources via the Web

      • Organizing academic conferences and seminars

      • Training Protestant scholars and ministers

      • Promoting Polish Protestant intellectuals in their homeland and abroad

      • Establishing a theological bookstore and research center

      • Seeking opportunities to establish a Protestant educational institution in Poland

This looks like an exciting mininstry. Their first translation project is Meet the Puritans by Beeke and Pederson. After that they hope to tackle some primary Puritan works and translate Machen's Christianity and Liberalism. I encourage you to check out the Tolle Lege Institute and consider how you or your church might want to partner with them in providing Reformed resources for Poland.
