These recordings of four addresses given by Brother Dennis Gillett have recently been transcribed as a series of articles in the Christadelphian Magazine. Brother Dennis speaks on the true church:
1) Its nature
2) Its government
3) Its discipline
4) Its work

The October and November papers may be in the post late due to printing issues (the papers are available on the website).
We are now starting to making videos of the hymns (performed by the Northern Christadelphian Choir) in English with a Farsi translation (either for understanding or for singing) available!
We're still uploading these and more are being created, the growing list of hymns available in Farsi is here: https://www.isolationleague.org/hymns/list/farsi (you need to be logged on to the website to view this).
The Isolation League is now on the Telegram messaging app! Telegram is a great alternative to WhatsApp with some interesting features such as built in message translation. There is of course, plenty of debate online on which is messenger app is best, but we can easily integrate with Telegram (and already have a similar integration with Whatsapp)

CIL Meet is our live stream service provided for Christadelphian Organisations & Ecclesias. The service uses either Zoom, Google Meet or Teams accounts and provides a simple access mechanism to run meetings using these accounts. You can also use the accounts directly as well!
Each Organisation / Ecclesia has a page on CIL Website and on their page they have at least one meeting Room. Once the Room is accessed the meeting is started for the day and the meeting opens in the usual Zoom, Google Meet or Teams app.

There are over 4,800 recordings of Exhortations, Lectures, Studies and more that you can listen to either on the website, or download (or in a few cases watch). We can even send them to you on CD (or cassette tape!). The recordings are from a wide range of speakers which you can discover these recordings here: https://www.isolationleague.org/recordings
We've uploaded 116 recordings that were submitted for review last year (2020), you can find the recent updates here: https://www.isolationleague.org/recordings/recent.
This update noteably includes an exhortation entitled "It's not fair", a study entitled 'The Shepherd King and The Son of the Bow", a study on John the Baptist and the recordings of bro Bob Lloyd on the theme 'If God be for us' from the West Birmingham Youth Weekend in 1996.
We are delighted to announce more Hymn videos and audio recordings are now available for you to download, use in streaming of meetings or to just listen to! The whole Christadelphian hymnbook can be browsed at https://www.isolationleague.org/hymns. Each hymn has the recording by the Northern Christadelphian Choir, a video which shows the words for each line as it is sung, and various organ and piano accompaniments / voluntaries.
We have recently added a large number of alternative videos which display the words for each verse as they are sung and we're now added alternative piano voluntaries to a selection of the hymns as well (please see Hymn 1 for example).
The CIL have also renewed the copyright licenses which enables us to make the copyright hymns available to you and for CIL Meet users to stream the copyright hymns via our integrations with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
