This is huge. Many speakers from Focus on the Family and others will be at a Marriage and Family conference here on campus. This promises to be a great way to spend a few days, especially for laypeople. I will be there! I’m sure this will fill up quickly.
In the Image of God: Love and Marriage
September 18 – 20, 2006
Concordia Theological Seminary (CTS), the Cranach Institute, and the LCMS
World Relief and Human Care are sponsoring a conference entitled In the Image
of God: The Christian Vision for Love and Marriage on the CTS campus, Fort
Wayne, IN.
This conference will focus on God’s design for marriage and sexuality. Though
we will examine the sinful distortions of that design and the pastoral care
issues they raise, the emphasis will be on recovering a positive Christian
approach to these issues, growing out of the Gospel and the creation of the
Triune God.
The conference will feature speakers such as Lauren Winner, author of Real
Sex; Christopher West, author of Theology of the Body; Daniel Weiss, an expert
on sexual brokenness from Focus on the Family; Dr. Beverly Yahnke, Lutheran
psychologist; Dr. William Weinrich, Professor of Historical Theology at CTS;
and more.
Practical workshops and seminars will be held on topics such as:
How to deal pastorally with divorce, living together, homosexuality, pornography,
and other sexual sins
How to build strong marriages
Cultivating chastity
Sexual ethics and teenagers
The vocation of being single
Courtship, marriage, and parenthood
Pre-marital counseling
Overcoming conflict in marriage
The body and the image of God
Marriage, Christ, and the Church
Pastors and laity, married couples and singles, seminarians, deaconesses and counselors
are all welcome.

I’m in–registered today. And then found out Pr Bruzek is doing one of the workshops.
It looks to be very good.
