Each year, BYU Religious Education and the Religious Studies Center sponsor the annual BYU Easter Conference. Marie K. Hafen will be the keynote speaker this year, with BYU professor Tyler J. Griffin and historian Jennifer Reeder giving additional presentations. All speakers talk about the Savior, his life, his mission, his Atonement, and his influence in our lives today.
