From the Editors
When Free Will Baptists gather in Tampa this month for the annual Convention, they will have a vast array of seminar choices. Among them are three seminars offered by members of the Commission for Theological Integrity. While these seminars aren’t official presentations of the Commission (see this prior announcement about the annual Commission seminar on Monday at 1:30pm), they do represent exercises in theological and practical reflection.
One seminar will address the deeply personal and ministerial challenges associated with infertility, which is connected to our understanding of creation, the Fall, marriage, and anthropology. The second deals with biblical sexuality, which is connected to the doctrine of creation and marriage. A third concerns denominational identity, which is associated with the doctrine of the church and doctrine more generally.
Below are the presenters, seminar titles, and seminar locations. For a fuller look at seminars on tap for this year’s Convention, the official program can be viewed here.
Monday, July 22
(3:30pm) – Dr. W. Jackson Watts, “Understanding and Responding to Infertility (TCC 107/108)
Tuesday, July 23
(9:00am) – Dr. Kevin Hester, “Song of Solomon and Biblical Sexuality.” (TCC 112)
(11:00am) – Dr. Matt Pinson, “Downplaying Denominational Identity as a Survival Strategy (TCC 105/106)
Due to the fortuitous scheduling of all four seminars, attendees can potentially attend all of them. We hope you will!
Will there be some method for those who do not have opportunity to attend convention to listen/watch later? Thanks
It’s our hope and expectation that an audio recording of our seminar will be available sometime after the Convention. At least, the Executive Office has attempted to do this in recent years. For example, you can find 2023 Convention seminars here: https://nafwb.org/site/2023seminars/
Regardless, Mr. Talbot will be providing some notes that we hope to post at a later date on this site. At this time, this is what I can tell you. Thanks for your interest!
