Calvin's Legacy: Reforming the Church Today

[Becky]

From White Horse Inn:

Every January, Westminster Seminary California hosts a conference that offers biblical teaching on important topics to educate and equip men and women to serve Christ and his Church. This year's conference: Calvin's Legacy: Reforming the Church Today promises to be a valuable opportunity and resource for pastors, elders, Sunday School teachers, and laity.

I will be speaking at this conference along with several of my distinguished colleagues at Westminster Seminary California. I am hopeful that you will be able to join us for a wonderful weekend.

Since his birth in 1509, John Calvin has been one of the most influential and insightful figures in the history of the church. This year the seminary and White Horse Inn celebrate the 500th anniversary of his birth. He was a man of effective action and profound thought. But Calvin's significance is not limited to the past. His reforming work and biblical teaching are arguably more needed today than they were in the sixteenth century. Vital reforms which he championed are being abandoned in the life and doctrine of many churches. This conference will examine the ways in which John Calvin's life and theology can help the church of the twenty-first century rediscover the biblical path of faithfulness and fruitfulness.
