May 26-28 is the second Theology and Peace Conference. Three years ago Tony Bartlett, Tom Nicoll and I convened a group of folks interested in the relationship between mimetic theory and peace. Our first gathering featured presentations by Willard Swartley, Gerald Mast, Tony and others. For two days we hammered out how we saw the mimetic theory in relation to historic Peace Church perspectives. That gathering was such a success that a provisional board was developed and last year in Maryland was held the second T&P meeting. It has been broadened ecumenically to include all Christian perspectives. The group grows year by year with pastors, theologians and laity all sharing in this new revolutionary paradigm. Here is the link to the story of how T&P began.

If you have these days in May free, I encourage you to register NOW for this year promises to bring lots of light (and I suspect a little heat!). For more information and to register here is the link:

For all those waiting until the last minute to decide, please consider joining us at Techny Towers near Chicago.
