Dear friend,

The ERLC is doing something we have never done before: we had already fully planned our upcoming national conference on the topic of gospel courage in the public square, but we decided to scrap the existing conference plans and shift the theme to focus on the crisis of abuse in the church, given the defining moment we are facing in the SBC.

The ERLC and SBC Sexual Abuse Advisory Group are partnering together on a new conference theme, “Caring Well: Equipping the Church to Confront the Abuse Crisis,” at the Gaylord Texan on October 3-5, 2019. This event will feature survivors, experts, pastors, and advocates who will seek to equip Christians on the subject of abuse and related issues to empower their churches in the process of becoming safe for survivors and safe from abuse.

Through a mix of speakers, panels, and breakout sessions, leaders will gain clarity on how to share about abuse, care for the abused, and prepare for abuse prevention. Confirmed speakers for the conference already include:

    •    Russell Moore
    •    Beth Moore
    •    JD Greear
    •    Rachael Denhollander
    •    Gary Haugen
    •    Diane Langberg
    •    Jennifer Michelle Greenberg
    •    Jackie Hill Perry
    •    And many more

As you can imagine, it is not easy to scrap one fully-planned conference in order to change to a new theme when the event is less than six months away. But we want to do whatever it takes to serve survivors and help churches. 

Watch this short video to learn more about why we made this major shift.

We would love to work with you to bring a group from your church. Please pray for us in the days ahead as we take this step to shift the conference and tackle one of the most pressing issues of our day.
