FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INSTITUTE FOR CREATION RESEARCH

Fortieth Anniversary Of The Institute For Creation Research

(1970 -- 2010)

In their August 2010 issue the Institute For Creation Research announced that they will be celebrating their 4oth anniversary with a Banquet at which the Keynote Speaker will be

Dr. R. Albert Mohler, the President of the Southern Baptist Seminary, a man thoroughly committed to Scripture, which is why he is a creationist and why he is Reformed in theology, and has become a leader in leading a significant number of Southern Baptist toward more Scriptural thinking. As such he is an excellent choice for speaking at the ICR 40th anniversary celebration.

Information on ICR is available on their website www.icr.org. Banquet info is found at www.icr.org/banquet.

It is worthy of note that R. J. Rushdoony, one of the leaders in promoting Van Tillian thought in the 20th century, was the one who encouraged the head of the P & R Pub. Co. to publish the book which is widely credited with launching the creationist movement, The Genesis Flood, one of whose authors was Henry M. Morris, the founder of ICR. TGF was published in 1961, so that its fiftieth anniversary will be next year, 2011. In a personal conversation, Rushdoony told me he also was a friend of Morris and knew him well. At that time they both lived in California.

Sincerely,

Forrest
