If you’re intimidated by the postmodern challenges to the Church, yet you don’t want to abdicate responsibility for reaching 21st century cultures, then perhaps this conference is for you … Westminster Seminary in California is hosting a missional and reformed conference in mid-Jan.

’The claim of the emergent/emerging churches to represent a truly “missional” approach to ministry, witness, and evangelism is generating much interest and ink. This conference considers what it means to be Reformed and missional. We start with the conviction that Christ the Lord has established an institution (the church) and has given to it a mission to make disciples of all the nations. Without the church there can be no mission and where there is no mission, there is no church. Tough questions remain and this conference doesn’t promise to have all the answers, but we hope to ask right questions about mission and ministry in our pluralistic age.

Speakers include Mike Horton, Robert Godfrey, Scott Clark, Joel Kim, Julius Kim, and Hywel Jones. Sounds like the kinds of discussions that are right up my alley. It’s encouraging to see a respected reformed seminary inviting noted theologians to wrestle with this topic.
