Defending the Faith
Abstract: WordAlone's upcoming convention promises to help church people defend the faith from other church people.
The 2008 Word Alone Convention will be held April 13-14 at Calvary Lutheran Church in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The theme for this year's convention is Defending the Faith and keynote speakers are Dr. James Kallas and Pastor Gary Jepsen:
Believers have always faced challenges to the Christian faith from the unbelieving world. In recent decades, direct challenges to the Christian faith seemed to have occurred from within churches almost as often as they have from without. Laypersons with no academic degrees in theology now are finding themselves in awkward and difficult positions of defending the faith in conversations with church leaders who do have theological degrees. Clergy and teaching theologians find themselves defending the faith before some bishops and church officials. WordAlone's 2008 annual convention will focus on equipping all to defend the faith with clarity, confidence, humility and love - in the world and in our churches.
