Besides a CP blogger, I am also the Executive Director of Athanatos Christian Ministries. I am proud to announce that our ministry will be hosting its first annual online apologetics conference this May, 2010.
http://onlineapologeticsconference.com/
Held entirely online, this allows for Christian artists, writers, pastors, teachers, etc, from all over the globe to attend without having to bother to leave their homes. Note: everything will be in English!
The theme for the conference is 'literary apologetics.' Potentially, future conferences will tackle some other brand of communicating or defending the Gospel through the arts. 'Literary apologetics' is, obviously, using the written word to carry out that endeavor. Notable examples are C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, and Dorothy Sayers, to name a few.
The purpose of the conference is to issue a call to Christians in the arts to express their faith through them and issue a call to the Christian Church to help them in a more deliberate fashion. Many people are converted or deconverted simply by virtue of the cultural air that they breathe. This conference aims to drive the Christian Church to recognize this fact and intentionally try to improve the 'air.'
The conference is taking registrations now. The cost is $35 for the two day event, but discounts are available for students and there is an early bird special in place before March 15th.
