ERLC to address racial issues at leadership summit

NASHVILLE — The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) will seek to equip Christians to apply the gospel on national conversations about race at its 2015 Leadership Summit titled “The Gospel and Racial Reconciliation.”

The summit will take place March 26–27 in Nashville.

Some of the summit speakers include: Trip Lee, hip-hop artist, author of “The Good Life” and founder of Built to Brag in Atlanta; Derwin L. Gray, pastor of Transformation Church, Indian Land, S.C.; K. Marshall Williams Sr., president of the National African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and pastor at Nazarene Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa.; Thabiti Anyabwile, assistant pastor for church planting at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.; Russell Moore, ERLC president; Fred Luter, first African-American president of the SBC and pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, New Orleans, La.; and Frank S. Page, president and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee.

Keynote addresses, panels and breakout sessions will focus on how churches can reflect the united kingdom of Christ and be a beacon of hope, clarity and restoration to a culture navigating complex questions about race.

The main sessions will be live-streamed on erlc.com. Follow the conversation on Twitter by following @ERLC and #erlcsummit.
