Society for Ecumenical Studies

I had not heard of the Society for Ecumenical Studies until I recently received an email informing me of their AGM.  It looks as if their website has a number of interesting papers on it.

However, their site is out of date and it seems they are considering their future.  I hope they'll keep going as, perhaps with a membership drive, they might continue to support ecumenical conversations based upon their work.  If you would like to see the Society continue and can't make the AGM, it might be worth letting therm know you are interested. 

In the meantime, their annual meeting is to be addressed by David Gamble, the past President of Methodist Conference (pictured), who is always worth hearing and sometimes controversial.  Here are the details:
