Read the special seminar invitation letter on "The Most Important Thing to Know"

We offer ten seminars from a variety of speakers exploring the Nature of God. Sir Anthony Buzzard, world authority on the oneness of God doctrine, will be presenting and answering questions. A special speaker, Professor Michael N. Keas, PhD, will define Intelligent Design, the scientific movement that has evolutionists on the run. Dr. Keas is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, the leading organization in ID research. The difficult questions regarding God will be faced head-on, sacred cow doctrines may be challenged, and the stained glass traditions of orthodoxy will be tested. James Trimm will challenge our position against a preexistent messiah in his presentation: What Judaism Offers for an Understanding of Christology.  This will be an unparalleled educational opportunity.

Seminars are generally 45 or 90 minutes in length including ample time for questions and discussion following the prepared presentation. There will be a lunch break and mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks.

Agenda

 

Seminar lengths will vary. Each presenter will reserve time at his conclusion for audience questions and comments. We ask that questions be restricted to the subject matter presented at a particular session. All questions will be welcomed during  open Q&A sessions .
