This Fall, October 6-9, Union University will host a major conference on the theme, “Southern Baptists, Evangelicals and the Future of Denominationalism.” I referred to this conference in passing previously, but now the conference website is up with details and registration.
The conference is timed to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Baptist movement and intends to examine some of the most vital issues facing Southern Baptists and Evangelicals as we prepare to move into the second decade of the 21st Century.
I have pasted in the schedule below so you can see who is speaking and what their topics are.
My address will focus on the renewal needed in our vision of pastoral ministry- the need to reclaim the centrality of the oversight of souls. I hope to see you here.

Boy, I wish there was an Alumni discount! :-)
This conference seems amazing! Any idea why it is so spead out as opposed to being a couple of days like some other conferences?
It is a different sort of conference than the typical Ryan Center conference. The previos Baptist Identity Conferences for example covered a couple of days in the midst of the week.
