The State of Our Dis-Union: Day six: Question and Answer Panels
Join our speakers as they tackle the tough questions from the State of Our Dis-Union: Symposium.
The State of Our Dis-Union: Day Five
Thaddeus Williams: First Things First: Evangelism in the Age of Social JusticeIt has become trendy to identify social justice as a “Gospel issue,” or even as “the heart of the Gospel.” If we do not rally behind this or that social justice cause we are told we suffer from an incomplete or truncated Gospel. How can we […]
The State of Our Dis-Union: Day Four
Jon Harris: The Social Justice Religion This presentation traces the history of social justice derivatives and how they parallel an Augustinian construction of confession, conversion, and a liturgy of praise and penance. It will also examine how social-justice-driven political movements have syncretized with Christianity and other religions. The main case study will be the Black Lives Matter movement. The […]
The State of Our Dis-Union: Day Three
Mary Weller: Gender and the Gospel: The Beauty of Distinction in a Culture of ConfusionThis presentation compares the lesser-known realities of “gender transition journeys” and trans-activism with the biblical and scientific reality of who we are as essentially gendered people. This conflict of ideas affects our young. How and why should believers speak truth in […]
The State of Our Dis-Union: Day Two
Jeff Ventrella: National Disunion and Faithful Politics: A Way Forward This presentation reveals the roots of the religious impulses underlying today’s disorder and chaos, and then demonstrates that an orthodox Christian confession supplies the foundation necessary for a public justice that protects and promotes human flourishing for all—that is, faithful politics.
The State of Our Dis-Union: Day One
Stephen Chavura: The Great AwokeningIn the 1730s America experienced the Great Awakening, a revival in which thousands were convicted of sin, changed their lives, and influenced their society. A Great Awokening is now transforming social institutions and shaping future generations by convicting millions of their racism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny. This Woke ideology has entered […]

The State of Our Dis-Union: Online Symposium April 5-10
America is a house divided, and its foundations seem to be cracking. Civil disorder and violence afflicts the republic, and the church is increasingly split. Is America and the church systemically racist? What do we say to Black Lives Matter? Should Christians be “woke”? Can the church survive if it remains faithful to biblical teachings on […]
The Mind of Christ
We are living in a time of fake news, where people seem to have lost their ability to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. You could describe this as a time of monist confusion, where there are no real distinctions because the general worldview is now that everything is one, so good […]
Why I Am Not a Gay Christian
We hear so much about the importance of love these days, and we providentially called our conference “The Two Loves” which we now understand to mean the Love of God and love of humanity, in that order. This really is the guiding thesis of this conference. The most loving response to same-sex attracted people is […]
Cancel Cancel Culture
The Phrase “Cancel Culture” “Cancel culture” came into the collective consciousness around 2017, after the idea of “canceling” celebrities for problematic actions or statements became popular.[1] American institutions and corporations now engage in censorship that was previously unimaginable, piling on critiques of a person, business, movement, or idea. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other Big Tech giants […]
