CGO Forum on Denominational Renewal 9/15 - 10/17

In February, 2008 five PCA pastors gave talks at a conference called "Denominational Renewal". Hundreds of PCA pastors and seminarians attended.

We will host a forum on these talks at CGO. We will spend one week on each talk, in sequence. The forum will run from Monday, September 15 through Friday, October 17.

To listen to the original talks, go to the Denominational Renewal site  and click on speakers. Under each of the speakers' biographies you will find a link to the audio of the message.
