You: was ken ham disinvited from conferences a few years ago
Leo AI: Yes, Ken Ham was disinvited from major homeschooling conferences, but this occurred in 2011, not just "a few years ago" relative to the current date of 2026 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham https://www.fox19.com/story/14314263/creation-museum-founder-uninvited-from-convention/.
The incident involved the Great Homeschool Conventions (GHC), which banned Ham and his ministry, Answers in Genesis (AiG), from speaking at two upcoming events in Cincinnati and Philadelphia, as well as all future conventions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham https://www.christianpost.com/news/ken-ham-disinvited-from-homeschooling-events-over-ungodly-remarks.html.
The disinvitation stemmed from a theological conflict over a speaker named Peter Enns, a senior fellow at the BioLogos Foundation, who was also scheduled to speak at the conventions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham https://www.kentucky.com/news/state/kentucky/article44085801.html.
* The Trigger: Ham publicly criticized Enns's teachings, specifically his views that the story of Adam and Fall could be metaphorical and that sin should not be discussed with young children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham https://answersingenesis.org/ministry-news/core-ministry/kicked-out-of-two-homeschool-conferences/. Ham argued these teachings compromised the authority of Scripture and warned families against them https://answersingenesis.org/ministry-news/core-ministry/kicked-out-of-two-homeschool-conferences/.
* The Organizer's Response: GHC organizer Brennan Dean stated that Ham's public criticism of the convention and its speakers was "unnecessary, ungodly, and mean-spirited" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham https://www.fox19.com/story/14314263/creation-museum-founder-uninvited-from-convention/. The board claimed Ham was questioning the integrity and salvation of other Christians, which violated their values of Christian charity https://www.christianpost.com/news/ken-ham-disinvited-from-homeschooling-events-over-ungodly-remarks.html https://www.fox19.com/story/14314263/creation-museum-founder-uninvited-from-convention/.
* The Outcome: GHC sent an email late at night informing AiG of the ban without prior phone consultation, leading to a public dispute where AiG maintained they were simply defending biblical truth against compromise, while GHC maintained they were addressing "un-Christian" behavior https://www.christianpost.com/news/ken-ham-disinvited-from-homeschooling-events-over-ungodly-remarks.html https://answersingenesis.org/ministry-news/core-ministry/kicked-out-of-two-homeschool-conferences/.
While Ham is a prominent figure in the creationist movement, this specific "disinvitation" event is a well-documented incident from over a decade ago, not a recent occurrence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham.
