One of the unique features of the Credo Conference are Anselm Houses. These breakout sessions are led by the main speakers and others, where a classical text is read aloud and discussed as a group. These Anselm Houses are groups where “faith seeking understanding” is practiced. Join Matthew Barrett, Michael Horton, Fred Sanders, Kevin DeYoung, Gavin Ortlund, and Michael Reeves May 1-2 in Washington D.C. for this unique opportunity to worship and contemplate our triune God in community.
