To know oneself is, above all, to know what one lacks. The first product of self-knowledge is humility.
Flannery O’Connor

To live outside the law, you must be honest.
Bob Dylan

Honesty. Is there a scarier word in the English language? For some, it is a luxury they can’t afford, for others the last stop on the train. Yet what a relief it is to be unburdened of our defensiveness - with our loved ones, with ourselves, with God. To live in freedom and humility rather than exhaustion and fear. Join us for a few days in Manhattan this Spring as we explore how God’s grace – in all its clear-eyed honesty – creates hearts full of hope.

Our keynote speaker this year will be Michael Horton, noted author, theologian and radio host of The White Horse Inn. Other contributors include Aaron Zimmerman & David Zahl of Mockingbird, with devotions from conference chaplain Jacob Smith. There will also be eight breakout sessions, covering a wide range of topics, from film, music and literature to parenting and aspects of life in local churches. UPDATE 2/20: Full Schedule Posted!

If the past four years are anything to go by, the conference is sure to be a time of warmth, fun and maybe even a little emancipation. And on Friday evening, we’ll be celebrating the 5^th anniversary of Mockingbird – not to be missed!

The event is open to anyone and everyone. Our emphasis at Mockingbird is always on keeping things as down-to-earth as possible. Just be sure to pre-register ASAP, as space is limited.
