Anglican Connection Online Conference
POST CONFERENCE OPPORTUNITYIf you missed the Anglican Connection Online Conference (February 2-3), register for US$30.00 to access the gospel-focused conference until May 31.
Overview
Our culture is like sand, shifting and changing. It says there is no right or wrong; you make your own truth. Fame and popularity have become more important than kindness and virtue. And just like the tide and the waves, our culture will bend us to its will as long as we sit on the shore.
Jesus said: “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24).
Aim
This year’s conference seeks to challenge and equip God’s people to understand our shifting culture and to point them to God’s Word at this time of complex cultural change.
The Anglican Connection is not only for Anglicans.
It is for all who are keen to harness the riches of the 16th Century Reformation in the Gospel cause today.
