A pastor for two decades, writer and activist from Wake Forest, North Carolina, Pavlovitz blogs about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/johnpavlovitz.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stuff That Needs To Be Said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and has published <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Westminster John Knox Press, 2017) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HOPE and Other Superpowers: A Life-Affirming, Love-Defending, Butt-Kicking, World-Saving Manifesto<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Simon &amp; Schuster, 2018). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Park-Hur will provide the first keynote address.
