B.C. church workers’ conference

SORRENTO, B.C. – The B.C. church workers met for their conference from October 23-27 in Sorrento. The main speaker was Concordia Lutheran Seminary’s interim president, Rev. Dr. Joel Heck. Dr. Heck, who is a renowned expert on C. S. Lewis, enlightened those in attendance with the story of “Jack,” who wrote as much as Martin Luther! C. S. Lewis remains pertinent, especially with his apologetic work, showing the reasonableness of the faith and answering objections that atheists might have. Lewis had a heart for this, considering how he, after being sought out by God—like a fox is by a hound—went from atheism to Christianity. 

An interesting fact is that Lewis finally converted while riding to the zoo in the side car of a motorcycle driven by his brother. By coincidence, when the church workers conference enjoyed an excursion to Dreamcycle Motorcycle Museum, they had on display a similar motorcycle, although without the sidecar (a 1939 A.J.S. 2A).

Conference attendees included 20 active pastors, one church worker, eight emeritus pastors, three synod staff, one guest, three spouses, and one seminary president.
