Outofthepulpit,Dr.Lloyd-Jonesmadehisbeneficentinfluencefeltinanumberofdirections.Chiefofthese,perhaps,washisimpactontheUniversityChristianUnionsandmembersofthevariousprofessions.Hegavemuchofhisfreetimetotheneedsoftheologicalstudentsandyoungerministers,andalso,intheirturn,tomedicalstudentsandjuniordoctors.Beingdeeplyreadintheologyandchurchhistoryhisaccuratelydiscriminatingmindwasatitsbestwhensortingoutthetheoreticalandpracticalproblemsofordinandsorbusyministers.Oneexample,whichisavailableinprint,maybeseeninthedevastatingreplytoDr.WilliamSargant’sbook–TheBattlefortheMind[2].Thistourdeforcewasgivenataministers’conferenceandledtoanilluminatingdiscussion.From1939totheendofhisministry,Dr.Lloyd-Jonesgaveupawholedayeverymonth,exceptintheSummervacation,towhatgrewintoalargelyattendedministers’conference.EachautumnhealsochairedtheannualconferenceforstudyanddiscussionofthewritingsofthePuritans.Hisownpapersatthisconferenceandsummingupattheendoftheday’sproceedingswereoutstanding.

InspiteofdemandsfromhisownChurch,andmidweekjourneysacrossthecountrytobringencouragementtoothercongregations（andespeciallytopreachattheinductionofnewministerstotheirfirstcharges）,herarelyrefusedaidtotheChristianMedicalFellowship.ForoverfifteenyearshechairedtheC.M.F.’s（London）MedicalStudyGroupatwhichhisrestlessresearchmindwasgivenfullreinindismissinginadequatelyconfirmed‘findings’orindemandingprimarysourcesforstatementswhichmightproveonlytorestonpopularimpressionorstatementscopiedfromtextbooktotextbook.
