Anyone intrested in historical orthodoxy in evangelicalism should attend this conference! It will be held this september at Beeson Divinity School in Alabama. The theme is based on an article from Jaraslav Pelikan titled “The Will to Believe and the Need for Creed” The conference according to the site will stress “both the confessional and unifying purposes of the creeds as an expression of Christian belief and identity.”
This conference will be well suited for pastors and theologians and will feature “topics including the significance of the Nicene faith for pastoral work, evangelical worship, the emerging churches, biblical exegesis and vital expressions of orthodox Christian faith around the globe.”
Cost is $95 and includes program fee and two meals (Monday dinner and Tuesday lunch). Find out more here.

Today is the “soft opening” of Michael Pattons “Credo House” in Edmond OK. I’m very excited about this work because it meets a crucial need often left unaddressed in evangelical circles. How does the evangelical church function without church based theologians and a weak program of equipping believers with sound theology? One answer is this great concept, a “Theological Hub” which serves as headquarters for Reclaiming the Mind ministries and The Theology Program. It features a coffee bar, a “wall of heretics” and a theological library and store. People can just stop by when they are open and have a coffee and a chat, or check out a theology class that can be taken there or online. Check out the website, and if you live anywhere near, stop on by and say hi. I pray that the Lord bless this ministry, anything that can be done to make people more comfortable with theology can only help the church and the Missio Dei.
