Announcing the June 2020
SUMMER SCRIPTURE CONFERENCE-CANCELED
Interpreting Scripture in the Church
June 21-26, 2020
To all of the Summer Scripture Attendees,
It is with sorrow that we announce the cancellation of the Summer Scripture Conference 2020. Due to the uncertainty of the current situation, the administrators of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake considered the health and safety of our faithful attendees, the presenters and the staff when carefully considering the options.
The opinions and survey results were evenly split among the attendees; therefore, the decision was made to refund the registrations fees. As a small consolation to all, we have arranged for 1 speaker to present a pre-recorded series of 3 lectures with free access. We will create this link to be made available in June. We are very grateful for your continued interest and loyalty to the Summer Scripture Conferences.
Summer Scripture is unique in that the conference creates an unscripted retreat like atmosphere, producing subtleness and peace complemented by the beautiful and historic campus. This feature is irreplaceable and one of the enticements for many who register.
An online format limits those warm and deep discussions among speakers and attendees, and the beauty of Night Prayer, and the active socials that encourages new friendships. Many look forward to this event as a respite and a time to refresh. In person social interaction is an evident loss during these times.
Please look for updates concerning the Summer Scripture Conference 2021. The dates are June 20-25, 2021.The theme is Science and the Bible. We are truly looking forward to the next Summer Scripture Conference 2021!.
May God Bless and Keep You,
