Registration is underway for the 2006 Ministers’ Wives’ Conference and luncheon, Dorothy Patterson, president of this year’s gathering, has announced.
The conference luncheon will take place during the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting June 13, in the Guilford Ballroom of the Greensboro Sheraton at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The guest speaker will be Georg Andersen, an internationally recognized interior designer and author.
Patterson, wife of Paige Patterson, president of Southwestern Baptist Seminary, said, “We are so excited that Mr. Georg Andersen has agreed to come and share his principles for turning a home into a silent witness for Jesus Christ.”
One of Andersen’s earliest projects was to work with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy on the Diplomatic Oval Reception Room in the White House. Over a career spanning more than 40 years, Andersen has done projects on the Governor’s Mansion and the Arkansas State Capitol for Gov. Mike Huckabee; The Carlyle Hotel and The Waldorf-Astoria in New York City; and the J.B. Hunt Transport headquarters in Lowell, Ark. On an international scale, Andersen’s interior designs can be found in London, Monte Carlo, Helsinki and Jakarta, Indonesia.
In his latest book, “Silent Witness: The Language of Your Home,” Andersen and his wife Annabelle use their own home to demonstrate how interior design can bear “silent witness” to “the multifaceted work of God in our lives.”
Tickets for the luncheon are $10. Register online at www.swbts.edu/conferences or call toll-free (877) 467-9287.
