We are announcing important changes to our lineup of events at the Evangelical Theological Society meeting this year. Our luncheon event with Brad Wilcox has been changed to a private seminar. Each school in the network has been invited to send one representative to the event. We were very pleased by the rapid and enthusiastic response to the invitation, and the event is now full. We look forward to a fruitful time of learning with one of the nation’s leading scholars of marriage and family.
But this does not mean you need to go hungry at lunchtime on Tuesday! The Oikonomia Network is now co-sponsoring a panel discussion with the Colson Center, the Acton Institute and Zondervan:

Wait, there’s more! The Acton Institute is hosting a screening of their revolutionary film, For the Life of the World, in partnership with the Colson Center and the Oikonomia Network. If you’ve never seen it, we urge you to come find out what you’ve been missing; if you have, come rediscover it in this distinct feature film format. The screening will start at 6:30pm in Hilton Grand Salon B; complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served.
And the Oikonomia Network will be hosting a dessert reception immediately following the film, at 9:00pm, right across the hall in Hilton Grand Salon D! Come enjoy our hospitality and an opportunity to network.
As you can see, we will have no shortage of opportunities at ETS/EPS this year! A list of opportunities that we thought you might want to be aware of (some of which are not ON events) are listed below. Please feel free to let us know if you are aware of other items that ought to be on this list!
