For our midwestern readers, at least those on the eastern side of the Midwest, news of two conferences being held in Pittsburgh:
The first, which starts this afternoon, is the Newman Association of America’s annual conference . The main speakers include Fr. Ian Ker, author of the major biography of Newman and several other major Newman scholars, as well as the deacon whose healing was the miracle that led to Newman’s beatification.
The second, from a different point on the ecclesiastical spectrum, is a conference on the Swedish theologian Bo Giertz’s The Hammer of God , sponsored by the International Giertz Society . It is being held on September 14th at First Trinity Lutheran Church on North Neville Street. The announcement didn’t list a website. For information, write Pastor Eric Andrae at < EricAndrae [the at sign] gmail.com >.
