2023 Conference: October 28 - 29, 2023

In an age where society is challenged by contending values that promote a zero-sum cancel culture, the theme, "Neither Fools nor Heretics" celebrates the decade of friendship between a Young Earth Creationist and an Evolutionary Creationist. Todd Wood, PhD, Darrel Falk, PhD, and Rob Barrett, PhD will wach present at this engaging and thought provoking conference.  As they reflect on what does it really mean to be accepting of others while hold diametrically opposing philosophical perspectives.

2021 Conference: November 12-13, 2021

The theme was "The Andrews Way of Doing Archaeology." Excavations in Hisban Jordan were started in 1968 by Siegfried H. Horn. He later founded the Horn Archaeological Museum, which now houses one of the largest cuneiform collections in the United States. The guidelines under which he worked have been established as the “Andrews Way” of doing archaeology—guidelines still followed by workers in biblical archaeology.
