$\"unionsbc\"$ In just one month, from October 6-9, 2009 in Jackson, TN, Union University is hosting one of the more interesting conferences to be held in conservative Christian circles in 2009-10<\/a> (yes, I\u2019m on the school calendar).\u00a0 It\u2019s entitled \u201cSouthern Baptists, Evangelicals, and the Future of Denominations\u201d<\/a><\/strong> and it is worth attendance and attention.<\/p>\n

I would highly encourage those who can attend this conference to sign up.\u00a0 It\u2019s just $85 per person until September 15, 2009 (register here)<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 The conference will feature leading evangelical lights like David Dockery, Al Mohler, Timothy George, Danny Akin, D. Michael Lindsay, Duane Litfin of Wheaton, Ed Stetzer, and many more.\u00a0 It looks like a terrific lineup<\/a>, one that will help to form an understanding of the three major subjects outlined in the event title.\u00a0 Notable blogger and friend Trevin Wax<\/a> will be covering the conference.<\/p>\n

As many will know, Union University has been in the vanguard of those who are thinking critically about the future of the SBC, denominations and denominational identities.\u00a0 This conference only cements the school\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

Register online here<\/a> and support a great conference and a leading evangelical school<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
