Going to GodBlogCon
by Ted Slater on 10/12/2006 at 11:55 AM
Motte and I finally registered to attend the 3-day GodBlogCon in LA. GodBlog is an annual conference whose purpose is:
how best to bring the truth and power of Christ into a culture withering from lack of truth, goodness, and beauty. New Media has already proven itself a potent cultural force, but the rules are changing and only the thoughtful will survive. GodBlogCon will exhort, equip, and encourage you and other Christians from all walks to engage the culture as thoughtful, articulate, and winsome witnesses of the redeeming work of Christ in every area of life!
Speakers include some of the blogosphere's greatest minds: La Shawn Barber, Hugh Hewitt, Mark D. Roberts, Joe Carter, Patrick Hynes, Charmaine Yoest, James Kushiner, Andrew Jackson, Marvin Hutchens, Kevin Wang, Melinda Penner, Matthew Anderson, Fred Sanders, Paul Spears, Stacy Harp, and John Schroder.
It's looking like attendance will be relatively small, which seems like a benefit to us, as we'll have more intensive one-on-one time with these New Media trailblazers. At this point, the couple dozen or so attendees include (in addition to the speakers above, of course): Jan Lynn, Brenda McGill, Elizabeth Taylor, Alan McCann, Virginia Schroeder, John Schroeder, Dave Martina, Melinda Penner, Donald Sage, Robert Stevenson, Rob Asghar, John Mark Reynolds, Jen Wrobleski, Julia Kiewit, Natalie Joes, Dustin Steeve, Andrew Selby, Keith Buhler, Adam Groza, Pat Sikora, David Nilsen, and Jennifer Hardy.
We're excited to be rubbing shoulders with these folks in a couple of weeks.
I'm just a bit disappointed that Bob Kauflin, Carolyn McCulley, Joshua Harris, Albert Mohler, Tim Challies, Dawn Eden, Justin Taylor and Alex and Brett Harris don't appear to have registered to attend....
