FULLNESS OF TRUTH: Relax, and renew your faith at San Antonio’s Fullness of Truth Conference, August 25 – 27, “The Reformation’s 500 Year Report Card: Catholicism Remains Christ’s Prayer for Unity” at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort and Spa. Families, Middle and High School Youth, Clergy and Ministerial Professionals will gain valuable insights, spiritual, and formational development with Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller, EWTN’s Dr. David Anders, Dr. Michael Barber, Dr. Francis Beckwith, Gail Buckley, and Fr. Ken Geraci. Our dynamic speakers will capture your attention by speaking from the context of their own conversions from Protestantism, the pitfalls they found in classic Reformation theology and Modern Evangelicalism. They will share how through ongoing study and reason they were led to the conclusion that Catholicism best addresses the needs of modern Christians. All attendees will be led toward the conclusion that the Catholic Church is the ultimate vision of Christ’s prayer for unity. Friday night begins with a full concert with Matt Maher and John Tibbs! Group rates begin with groups of 10+. Call for details. Stay at the fantastic Hyatt Resort for half price with conference tickets! Register Now! www.fullnessoftruth.org or call 1-877-218-7884.
