About
Our 2024 P&A annual conference theme is “Following Christ as men and women”. Moore faculty member Andrew Leslie will unpack this topic in our morning plenary sessions. Andrew will begin by looking at various passages and patterns in the book of Genesis, and then he’ll take us to the New Testament. Our afternoon electives will further unpack this theme, with Clare Deeves sharing her PhD research about things to consider when men and women work together on a ministry team. Moore’s dean of Women, Susan An, will look at when we disagree with each other about complementarianism while being on the same staff team. Other electives include gender considerations in South Asian ministry; fatherhood; teaching the woman at the well in John 4; and if there are reasons for making different theological decisions than the Apostles.
