Plenary at ELF 2011: «The truth shall set you free»
The annual European Leadership Forum (ELF) in Eger, Hungary, is certainly one of the highlights of the year!
Tonight is the opening session for ELF 2011. As Steering Committee member of ELF, I have been asked to give the opening plenary adress on the vision of ELF:
- ELF 2011 21st May plenary session: Gospel Truth – The truth shall set you free (Lars Dahle) – see also the video file here.
I’m intrigued by the issue of truth – as a journalist educator, as a media critic and as a Christian apologist. This plenary adress focus on the latter dimension, i.e. truth as a crucial dimension in Christian apologetics.
For those who want to pursue these key issues, I do recommend the following resources:
- The Cape Town Commitment (section on truth)
- Learning from Francis Schaeffer: True truth and true spirituality
- Os Guinness: Why Truth Matters (Lausanne III presentation)
- Lars Dahle: Media Messages Matter: Christ, Truth and the Media (CT 2010 Advance Paper)
