2010 Gathering Features Lathrop and Ramshaw
Plans are underway for next year’s annual gathering that will be held at the beautiful Duncan Conference Center in Delray Beach, Florida — about two hours south of Disneyworld. The theme of the 2010 event is “When Heaven Touches Earth: Reclaiming the Mysteries of Faith for Baptismal Living Today.” Special focus will be on the triduum, especially the Easter Vigil as a highpoint of the catechumenal journey. The event features Dr. Gail Ramshaw, Professor of Religion at LaSalle University, and Dr. Gordon Lathrop, faculty emeritus at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia; Mark Mummert, Minister of Music at Christ the King in Houston, has agreed to head up our Music and Worship Team. Mark your calendars NOW for July 29 - August 1, 2010.
