Program development continues apace for Following Christ 2008 (FC08). Here is a summary of the latest news.
In September, we published an extensive, twelve-page brochure about Following Christ 2008. If you haven’t received one, please contact info@followingchrist.org to request a copy.
We extended the first deadline for the Bosscher-Hammond Prize Competition to October 15 (now past, obviously). Submissions had been very strong, with scores of entries in early, but some of our publicity efforts were still under way, so we wanted to give newcomers a good chance to enter.
We particularly draw your attention to the expiration of the $50 early-bird discount on conference registration, which occurs on November 1.
Our series of Director’s Videos continues, with #7 released on October 8 with information all about the optional Day Ahead events.
We’ve launched a system to aid delegates seeking a roommate. See the FAQ for details.
We’ve made a substantial set of updates to online conference information, especially in these areas:
Following Christ 2008: Conference Audio
Available for free download: selected audio (as MP3 files) of plenary addresses, seminars, and Day Ahead program at InterVarsity's Following Christ 2008 conference.
Following Christ 2008 Theme: Human Flourishing
The FC08 theme is "human flourishing" — what it truly is, what's wrong when it's absent, and how God is calling us to both model and multiply it.
