I DEEPLY regret to announce that the Florovsky-Newman Week on baptism with Jeffrey Bingham, Matthew Levering, and Marcus Plested has been postponed until 2021.

However, since this event is one of three signature events that financially keeps our doors open, the board of directors has come up with an alternative plan.

We will present the annual Florovsky Lecture, add a new annual Newman Lecture, and conduct an Eighth Day Seminar ("Hope in the Bible, the Fathers, the Liturgy, & Literature"), all offered virtually online on June 5-6, in the year of our Lord 2020. Since baptism will be the theme for 2021, and given the strange nature of the age in which we are living, the theme will be "Hope in the Age of Anxiety" (also a preview for the 2021 Eighth Day Symposium).

Between these three events there will be almost ten hours of content that will be offered virtually/digitally to anyone who donates $25 or more. This would normally cost well over $100. So in an effort to offset a significant loss of revenue, please consider donating generously.

We'll send the Seminar notebook to everyone who donates $25 or more on May 8. This will give you a full month to read in preparation for "virtually" attending the seminar. Details for accessing all three events online will be sent as we approach the event on June 5-6.
