Arts & Apologetics Conference

3/16/23

It’s finally here… The Arts & Apologetics Conference at Capo Beach Church (CBC) in Dana Point, March 17-18. This is a unique conference that marries rational apologetics to imaginative apologetics, the art of defending truth claims and the art of creatively expressing truth claims.

World class speakers will be discussing topics, such as the trustworthiness of Scripture, God’s justice for all, evidence for the crucifixion and resurrection, gender and sexuality, decolonizing the Christian mind, and wokeness and happiness, which will complement imaginative expressions of faith by brilliant Christian artists.

Your ticket to the conference will cover the fee to the Tabernacle Experience at CBC from March 16th thru 21st. One step inside the Tabernacle Courtyard will transport you into Old Testament times. You will experience a day in the life of a priest as you engage in the duties and rituals within the Tabernacle.

Also, CBC will be providing free childcare (K-5th grade) both days, Friday and Saturday. But Friday, CBC is offering Cold-case Christianity, which will inspire your kids to seek truth, to love Jesus, to have a new fascination with the Bible, and to become the kinds of truth detectives who can make a difference in our world.

The effect of the Enlightenment bifurcated not only faith and reason but also imagination and knowledge. “[S]ome philosophers of the Enlightenment thought that image and imagination simply clouded and obscured the pure dry knowledge that they were after” (Guite, Faith, Hope and Poetry, 2). This was done in vast contrast to the age when fables,…
