Spent two nights and two days in Santa Rosa this week, attending a conference on "Religious literacy, a legacy for the future." Presenters included well known scholars, including Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong, and Jack Spong (retired Episcopal Bishop of Newark). Six hundred people registered. Most traveled at least 1000 miles to get there. My guess is that two-thirds of the attendees were older than I -- I'd like to understand why it is that so many "old" people are so concerned about the Future.
The setting was beautiful, and the presentations were stimulating. Will be summing up some of what I heard tomorrow morning in my sermon.
