Meet the CFL Speakers (Part 3)

We are very excited about the Christians For Liberty 2016 Conference this coming August 6th, and we are proud to welcome ten excellent speakers to teach and encourage you in your learning about Christian faith and libertarianism.

Dr. Norman Horn

normanhornLastly, there’s your host du jour and master-of-ceremonies, me. If you’re a regular reader of LCI, you probably know me pretty well. But let me give you the “latest” short bio because some of you may not know what I’ve been doing lately. Just one year ago, I was living and working in Austin, Texas. But shortly after the CFL 2015 conference I accepted a research position at MIT in Boston doing some really cool work in modular, reconfigurable systems for drug production. I have just recently moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida where I am now doing industrial R&D in scaled-up continuous flow microwave reactor technology. I remain the President of the Libertarian Christian Institute and continue to write and speak promoting Christian libertarianism to Christians everywhere. I created LibertarianChristians.com nearly eight years ago and have nurtured it into what you see here. Thanks for your support!

That’s it! We appreciate you sticking with us for this mini-series, and hope this has made you even more excited to come see us in Austin on August 6th. We look forward to greeting you in person there.
