Don't forget to buy your conference ticket!
21st November 2022
Our annual conference starts on Friday, and for those of you who plan to come but haven’t bought a ticket yet, you’d better be quick. I spent yesterday afternoon with Bronwyn and Daniel, running through a sound check at the venue, testing that the technology works as expected, finalising our catering and trying out our Friday night “entertainment” (we also had enough time to grab a quick beer at the Welsh Dragon bar, our venue for Friday evening’s event).
This week’s newsletter is all from me, with just a couple of articles; one from my visit to a Billy Graham evangelism event, where I try to deconstruct some of the sneaky tricks that were used to make it look like lots of people were converting to Christianity at the event, and one about a technology stall at the Go Green Expo a couple of weeks ago that made me unusually angry. When I say angry, I was very polite to the people at the stall, and chatted with them cordially for a few minutes, but underneath my friendly exterior I was definitely upset at the kind of misinformation they were spreading.
If you want more skepticism this week than just these two articles, you’d best book your ticket and come to the conference this weekend! We’ve got some fascinating talks lined up for you to listen to, and of course there’ll be ample opportunity to ask our speakers any questions you might have.
