Conferences!

A way to promote renewal in the churches is to get our pastors and members under the teaching of solid, biblical teachers. Are there any good, Reformed conferences you have been to in the past that you could recommend to others? What was good about it? Who were some of the speakers and what were the topics?

Issues in Classis

Many pastors, elders and churches have expressed their consternation with how to deal with the issue of women-in-office at the classis level. Until now, there has been a sort of "theological classis" format with some leaving "male" in the church order and some declaring it "inoperative." How has your congregation dealt with the issue or how are you planning to deal with it in the future as it looks like Synod will delete the word "male" out of the church order altogether?
