“Being Formed by the Gospel in a Post-Christian Age: A proposal for the Church Catholic.”

Dear Faithful LARCUM Participants,

Our celebrated Annual LARCUM Conference is going virtual this fall, as are most events.  On December 4th and 5th, we will welcome Dr. Phillip Cary, internationally acclaimed expert on Augustine, scholar in-residence at the Templeton Honors College, professor of Philosophy at Eastern University and Editor-in-Chief of Pro Ecclesia to our online event. Dr. Cary will present “Being Formed by the Gospel in a Post-Christian Age: A proposal for the Church Catholic” .

The LARCUM Conference has been held annually for more the 30 years in ecumenical communities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. During this unprecedented time, our conference will be held virtually and will be presented in our traditional schedule format albeit via the internet.

As a fruit of our limitations in the pandemic, we have become accustomed to meeting online and to dialogue in a different context.  The result is that we can attend the LARCUM Conference without the cost of travel, and room/board and meals.  Our only expense will be a stipend for our speaker and what is necessary to promote and host the online event – as a result we have lowered our Registration Fee to $ 25 and as always Students attend FREE.

Our weekend online schedule will begin with a presentation Friday evening followed by the Worship of the Great Assembly. Saturday morning will begin with morning prayer, followed by two additional talks. An opportunity for questions and answers will be made available throughout, and before we close at noon. 

A more detailed brochure with titles and summaries of the presentations is forthcoming. Please find below the Save the Date Card for reference and a downloadable paper registration form. We plan to record the talks and make them available to registered participants. Online Registration will open 25 September.
