Eleventh Annual Keach Conference Coming (9/28-29)

We are getting ready for the 2012 Keach Conference (look here for more info and to pre-register online) which will be hosted this year by Christ Reformed Baptist Church in Charlottesville (meeting at the Covenant Lower School).  This year's theme will be "Of the Fall of Man, Sin, and of the Punishment Thereof" (chapter 6 in the Second London Confession) and the speakers will include Dr. Carl Trueman of Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia, PA; Lloyd Sprinkle of Providence BC, Harrisonburg, VA; and Bryan Wheeler of Emmanuel BC, Verona, VA.  This will be our 11th annual meeting.  The last few years we have listed information in the program from past conferences (see below).  The list indicates that we have been blessed with some wonderful past gatherings.  It also shows the development of the conference and the sharper confessional definition that has developed over the last decade, as the conference moved from Biblical conservatives in moderate SBC Virginia, to soteriological Calvinists, to confessional Reformed Baptists.
