AbouttheConference
In an age of therapeutic religion and ecclesiastical minimalism, the church has been stripped of her theological nerve and cultural authority. Pietism has taught Christians to privatize faith, shrink the Kingdom to the inner life, and abandon the public square to secular powers. This conference confronts that retreat head-on.
The Ezra Institute invites pastors, scholars, and serious Christians to Winnipeg for a day of rigorous teaching on what it means to be the church — and what it means for Christ’s Kingdom to extend over all of life. Come prepared to think, to be challenged, and to leave equipped.
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”
