past, and the debate has carried
into this year’s conferences.
“In regards to Promise Keepers,
people from women’s move
ments show concern and chal
lenge what is being taught,” said
Dave Halbert, prayer coordinator
for the Eugene conference. “What
we teach is based solely on scrip
tures and God’s design for men
and women.”
The Promise Keepers’ teach
ings are focused toward balance
in relationships with women,
Halbert said.
“We want men to understand
how to fully love their wife,” he
said. "How to honor, respect and
cherish.”
“From my experience, women
sometimes get more out of it than
men do,” said Rev. Larry Whittle
sey, a Eugene pastor and local
event manager for the Promise
Keepers.
Halbert explained that what is
taught is the ability to recognize the
uniqueness between men and
women, and even though it’s a
men’s movement, it is not isolating
women or trying to be exclusive.
“It’s a men’s conference,” said
Whittlesey. “There are no restric
tions at all. However, the focus is
toward men.”
Promise Keeper officials have
been open to having Goldman
and Kintz' class attend the confer
ence, Goldman said.
According to Whittlesey,
Promise Keepers do not directly
mention political issues in con
ferences and readings.
“[Promise Keepers] are a strong
group of conservative-minded cit
izens,” Whittlesey said. “Nothing
political is coming from the orga
nization as a whole.”
Although many issues have
risen from the Promise Keeper
movement, those who are
adamantly opposed have never
really listened to the message,
Whittlesey said.
The class on the men’s organi
zation will take into account that
most people get their information
about the Promise Keepers’ mes
sage from the media, Goldman
said.
Promise Keepers truly are ema
nating political messages, she ex
plained.
“By focusing on the organiza
tion itself, people don’t realize it’s
reflecting deeper concerns,”
Goldman said.

that the focus is evangelism.
“Having a totally free conference
makes it hard to plan for,” said
Rev. Larry Whittlesey, a Eugene
pastor and local event manager for
the Promise Keepers. “However,
the purpose of the conference is to
help men of integrity become bet
ter husbands, citizens, employees
and churchgoers—basically what
they’re doing in their lives.”
“(Our focus] is to reach out to
men who do not have a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ and
God,” Halbert said. “Whatever
barriers exist between men and
their relationship with God, we
want to break them down.”
On-site preparations for the
conference began July 25.
“It’s a bustle of activity,” Whit
tlesey said. “Lots of things are go
ing on.”
Prayer opportunities have been
offered throughout the week.
These opportunities include

prayer marches around Autzen
Stadium, reading of the entire
Bible by volunteers and praying
for every single seat in the stadium.
“The significance of this is to
make prayer a practical and mean
ingful experience," Halbert said.
The conference will include
speakers from all over the country,
as well as religious music groups.
“The goal of Promise Keeper
conferences is to develop a sense
of complete acceptance, a sense of
opportunity to release ourselves to
understand and grow in the things
we are being taught,” Halbert said.
“It’s an uplifting thing,” Whit
tlesey said. “It encourages men to
do what they are supposed to do. ”
As part of the prearrangements
for the conference, the University
will be receiving a new “port-a
floor,” toward which Promise
Keepers donated $30,000. This
hard plastic floor will cover and
protect the Autzen playing sur
face.
