Paul and Pastor Brent were recently among 550 church staff, missionaries, and denominational leaders in Chicago. Their recap ranges from ancient church history to contemporary issues in the overall conference theme: “Theological Anthropology” (Gen. 1:27). Special attention is given to the teachings of Dr. Donald Fairbairn (1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed); Dr. Hans Madueme (Original Sin and Concupiscence); and Dr. John Kilner (Creaturely Limitations and Disability).
