Preaching Peace Conference

Submitted by Mark Van Steenwyk on July 3, 2008 – 2:16 pmView Comments

Preaching Peace is offering a couple excellent conferences in coming months.

The first conference (August 12-14) is “Being A Peace Church in a Constantinian World.” Hosted at Messiah College in Grantham, PA, the conference features Brian McLaren, Craig Carter and Sharon Baker, plus additional sessions.

The Conference on Compassionate Eschatology (September 26-27) will be held at San Francisco Theological Seminary. This conference features some SERIOUS heavy-weight thinkers: Rene Girard, John D. Caputo, Barbara Rossing and Ted Grimsrud.
