Update on Apologetics Conference
January 28th, 2010This is a little early to be letting the cat out of the bag, but I’m pretty excited about it.
We’ve been slowly working on a conference for February of 2011 that will be a bigger version of the conferences we’ve done in the past.
It will be called The Justice Conference and will be co-sponsored by Kilns College and World Relief NEXT.
Today we received confirmation from our second main speaker – Adam Hochschild. Dr. Hochschild is the author ofKing Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa and Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free and Empires’s Slaves.
In addition to Dr. Hochschild, we have received confirmation from authors Mike & Danae Yankoski. Mike took a break from college to live on the streets with America’s homeless and wrote the book Under the Overpass to share what he learned. Mike & Danae jointly released Zealous Love: A Practical Guide to Social Justice this past month.
There are several more invites still open – so you’ll have to wait to see what the full list of speakers looks like. We’re only 1/3rd of the way there!!
Mark your calendars now and plan to pre-register at the upcoming Apologetics Conference in February for a special discount price.
