The 40th Anniversary
Conference
City on a Hill?
Christians in America at 250
Thank you for a memorable conference!
We’re grateful to our speakers, attendees, sponsors, and vendors for making this year’s gathering a success.
“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us.”
John Winthrop spoke these words in 1630 aboard the flagship Arabella en route to American shores. Quoting our Lord, Winthrop spoke not of a nation but about the charity of Christ’s disciples.
Since then, almost every American President since Kennedy has quoted Winthrop’s famous words and refashioned them for political purposes.
We have assembled a group of leading Christian writers in such fields as law, politics, and philosophy to assess and debate our history and our future. Our Lord called his disciples the light of the world. What must we do to live up to our calling?
