Why doesn Higher Things invite prominent non-Lutherans to speak at conferences?
It is essential to Higher Things that we use teachers who will be faithful to the Gospel and to the teachings of the Lutheran Church. This high standard is difficult to maintain when using teachers who do not share in our confession of faith. Moreover, why would we want to bring in non-Lutheran speakers when we have so many faithful and engaging Lutheran speakers who can connect with young people available already? We believe that those best at teaching youth to “Dare to be Lutheran” will actually be Lutherans themselves.
