District Pastoral Conference Presenters and Topics

Being involved in the program of the fall District Pastoral Conference, I thought we had it down until the program for the spring conference was announced and it appears to duplicate what we had planned.  So back to the drawing board...

I would be interested in hearing from Pastors of the Synod as to who they have had as speakers, the topics addressed, and how helpful and engaging both the speakers and the topics...  Thanks for giving me a hand!

    As one who has served on a steering
    committee for Pastoral Conferences
    the best source of presenters came
    from our LCMS Seminaries.

    Dr. Louis Brighton spoke on Revelation, Andrew Bartelt spoke
    on Isaiah, Dean Wenthe spoke on
    Psalms. It seems to me that solid
    exegetical studies are always needed
    by parish pastors to encourage their
    own studies of the Word.

    An additional comment about how
    engaging the speakers listed above
    were at the conferences.

    All three had outlines distributed
    and everyone was taking notes as
    they spoke. Brighton is a very
    compelling speaker who gets you
    emotionally involved with his topic.
    Bartelt has a sense of humor that
    pokes fun at our culture and church
    in a humble way.

    Last year, Joel Beiermann (sp?) spoke on Third Use of the Law - it was great. The year before, a tag team of Larry Rast and David Schmitt about preaching, and it was good as well. This year in Texas, we have Jeff Gibbs on Matthew.
