Still annoying


For those who follow the National Center for Family-Integrated Churches, the Vision Forum, et al, amongst the movement's and its associated personalities most annoying characteristics is a pretension of grandeur, perhaps no better exemplified than in the title for an upcoming event: "White Unto Harvest: A Great Commission Mega-Conference." 

With you, I'm not sure what "Great Commission" is doing in an adjectival position, but more to the point: mega-conference? Really? Can't these people hold even a conference without needing to assert how big and important they are?

I suppose they could be more annoying if they tried, but I have a hard time imagining how.
