R. Scott Clark
Puritan Board Senior
This seems relevant given the many discussions on this board concerning the sacraments and their relation to the work of the Spirit, preaching, and the apparent general confusion in the Reformed world today concerning Word and Sacrament.
And now the commercial:

Registration: http://www.wscal.edu/events/conferences/conference_registration.htm
How and when can Christ's sheep hear his voice? In what ways has God promised to bless his people and to help them grow in grace? Where can we find the working of the Holy Spirit and the blessing of Christ? To an emerging generation of Christians, theology matters"¦ and they are asking good questions.
The question for us is "Are we equipped to join the conversation?"
Westminster Seminary California invites you to Meeting God on His Terms: Word and Sacrament as Means of Grace, a conference where we will explore the biblical, cultural and historical answers to many of today's most pressing questions.
This conference is especially designed for pastors, elders, teachers, students, and interested laypeople who want to learn more about meeting God on His terms.
