This sounds like a fantastic, free event in the Chicagoland area: An evening of presentation and discussion with John Piper (“The Pastor as Scholar”) and D.A. Carson (“The Scholar as Pastor”).
On Thursday, April 23, 2009, at Park Community Church in Chicago, IL, the Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School will host an evening of free lectures and discussion with Dr. John Piper of Bethlehem Baptist Church and Dr. D. A. Carson of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. The event will begin at 7:00pm and conclude around 10:00pm. Titled “The Pastor as Scholar, and the Scholar as Pastor: Reflections on Life and Ministry with John Piper and D.A. Carson”, the evening will feature hour-long lectures by Drs. Piper and Carson that offer reflection of a theological and personal nature on the work of the pastor and the scholar, respectively.
Owen Strachan reports that “the evening will be recorded in high-definition by Desiring God Ministries (DGM) and live-blogged by the Henry Center. All material will be available for free at DGM, The Gospel Coalition website, and the Henry Center website.” See Owen’s post for more details.
