The Conference of the Holy Cross is a free conference of Lutheran pastors, who serve congregations in the Bay area and Central valley of California, and laity in those regions.
On a semi-annual basis, on the Wednesday closest to Holy Cross Day (September 14) and a Wednesday in late January or early February, the Conference gathers in order to present and to discuss papers written by its participants and also to provide a venue for noteworthy, engaging topics.
The Conference collects no fees and has no membership obligations, except a commitment to frank and lively expositions of confessional Lutheran theology.
