Walther Conference FAQs

 

Reclaim News has received many questions about The Fourth National Free
Conference on C. F. W. Walther in St. Louis, Missouri - November 1st,  and
2nd, 2002



Question 1. Is the Conference for Lay people?

Answer: The Conference is for lay people and clergy, but is primarily
directed at lay people.  There will also be time for questions and answers

of how Voters' Assemblies should operate and what are the duties of their
pastor.
