I would like to give credit to all of the hard workers in the Events and Conference Department at Southern Seminary. The website for the Vigilance Church Security Conference is now full of great information and ready for you to view it and register for the upcoming event.

In an effort to point all my readers to this site I am going to take the next week or two to point out many of the highlights from this site. I have already posted information on the Plenary Speakers for the event.
Below is the overview presented for our Conference from http://events.sbts.edu/vigilance/.
The Shepherd is Vigilant
"In 1 Peter 5:2, the spiritual leader is exhorted to “exercise oversight.” While we rightly see this text as primarily about spiritual oversight, we must also acknowledge that physical oversight is not outside of the spiritual leader’s responsibility. In fact, spiritual leaders must provide a safe environment for worship so that the purpose of the Lord’s church will not be hindered.
In today’s world, the Church has experienced increasing physical opposition and hostility. These challenges are forcing Christian leaders to consider how to react in a biblical manner—fully embracing God’s sovereignty while simultaneously acknowledging and fulfilling their responsibilities as overseers. Because the local church must be faithful to meet together (Heb. 10:25), we must consider the wisdom of proper safety and security measures when assembling in today’s reality.
The Vigilance Conference will equip pastors, leaders, administrators, as well as safety and security staff to think biblically about their role as shepherds and providing for the physical security of their flock.
Southern Seminary invites you to join the top names in safety and security to address crucial topics such as executive protection, risk management, and security systems.
Join us in the faithful pursuit of pastoral Vigilance in today’s world…"
