Persecution and the Church: Live Stream

Today and tomorrow the annual conference of The Andrew Fuller Center is taking place at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The topic is: Persecution and the Church. The conference is led by its director: Michael A.G. Haykin. Speakers include: Brian Vickers, Thomas Schreiner, Bryan Litfin, Jason Duesing, Steve Weaver, Nathan Finn, Benjamin Hegeman, and Jeff Robinson.

Here is a description:

Jesus Christ plainly told all who followed him as their Lord and Savior that they would suffer persecution—and in the history of the church over the past two thousand years this has undoubtedly been the case. There is clear evidence that along with the globalization of Christianity over the past two hundred years, the persecution of the church has likewise intensified.

In this timely conference, we will be looking at this history of persecution and its contemporary manifestations from a biblical and theological standpoint. The goal of the conference is to enable participants to be both more informed and more prayerful. To that end, this conference will conclude with a concert of prayer for the persecuted church.
