ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

A MOCKINGBIRD MINI-CONFERENCE IN PENSACOLA, FL

God's Grace When We Need It Most:
The Gospel For Hard Times


Another great conference is behind us!  If you would like recordings of the conference talks, go here and follow the links to the download site.


This November 19th and 20th, please join Christ Church Parish and Mockingbird Ministries, together with our special guests, the Rev. Dr. Paul F. M. Zahl, the Rev. John Zahl and Jeff Hual, as we take an in-depth look at how God’s Grace can find us and transform us even in the midst of difficult and trying times. This subject has particular resonance in Pensacola right now, which has had an all-too-recent encounter with tragedy: the Gulf oil spill. Each talk will explore the theme of suffering from a different angle - you may view the conference schedule for more details.

This mini-conference takes the same approach as the Mockingbird website: accessible to both believer and nonbeliever alike, culturally-engaged, theologically passionate, and, despite the heavy subject matter, fun. We also anticipate that it will be a time of extraordinary warmth, humor and fellowship - a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet some new ones.

As part of this year's event, Dr. Zahl is leading a special "pre-conference seminar" on preaching for clergy and para-church workers during the day on Friday.  Even if preaching is not your vocation, this time with Dr. Zahl on Friday is sure to be nothing short of amazing.  Everyone is warmly invited.

The cost to attend the main conference is $65 which includes dinner Friday and lunch Saturday; The cost to attend Dr. Zahl's preaching pre-conference during the day on Friday is $75 which includes lunch; The cost to attend both the main conference and the preaching pre-conference is $120 which includes lunch and dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday. The deadline to register is November 15.  Childcare is available.
