the Light
'an event planned and designed by Episcopalian college students for other college students. Throughout our 5 days together, we will explore
our theme of "Seek, Encounter, and Embody (SEE) the Light" with speakers, workshop leaders and with each other, while spending
time in worship rooted in Episcopal traditions from around the world. Skiing, snowshoeing, and other activities taking advantage of Colorado's
natural beauty will also be available.'
England: Worcester College, Oxford, 6-8 April 2009: The Early Modern
Parish Church Conference
'This conference will provide a forum to assess the role and significance of the parish church in the early modern period. This interdisciplinary
conference will attract papers from art historians, architectural historians, legal historians, archaeologists, as well as historians
and ecclesiastical historians. Rather than a series of case studies of particular churches, it is hoped that this conference will provide
a better understanding of the evolution and importance of this religious building within communities across Europe during the confessional,
economic, political and social changes of the early modern period. A call for papers will be announced in Spring 2008 but for initial
expressions of interest and to receive further details about the conference, please contact Kathryn Johnson at kjohnson@brookes.ac.uk.

Scotland: Aviemore, 2-4 October 2009: Living
Well

news of the Kingdom of God; teach, baptise and nurture new believers; respond to human need by loving service; seek to transform unjust
structures of society; strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.'
