God's Unchanging Truth in a Brave New World

The theme for the 2006 L'Abri Conference in Rochester, MN, is Living in a Brave New World. Dates: February 17 and 18.

My better half and I attended in 2003 and 2004, if I have the dates correct. We are considering whether or not to go in 2006. If you are interested in thinking christianly, check it out.
