Oasis Day at Canterbury
January 16

Seminary Faculty, Dr. Steve Harper (1973, MDiv) To Lead

On Monday, January 16th, Steve Harper will lead a retreat day focused on Richard Foster's new book, Sanctuary of the Soul. The retreat begins at 10:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. The retreat will combine silence and conversation. You do not have to have read the book in order to attend, but it would be all the better  if you can do so. At least purchase the book and bring it with you, so you can have the text to work with during the day. Cost for the day is $45.00, and this includes lunch.

To register contact sue@canterburyretreat.org, or call her at 407-365-5571. Canterbury Retreat Center is located at 1601 Alafaya Trail, Oviedo, FL 32765.

Wesleyan Studies Summer Seminar
June 4-28, Wilmore

Asbury Theological Seminary and Asbury University announce their second annual Wesleyan Studies Summer Seminar to be held June 2012. This seminar has been established to develop and support academic research, writing and publication in the broad field of Wesleyan studies. The seminar will promote the work of serious North American and International researchers in the following ways:

1. Making the scholarly resources of Asbury Seminary and Asbury University available to each participant.
2. Fostering dialog between researchers and the faculty of Asbury Seminary and University who have expertise in the researcher’s field.
3. Creating an environment for conversation, study and networking among scholars in the field of Wesleyan studies.

The Wesleyan Studies Summer Seminar is designed to include up to ten scholars who are working on articles, dissertations, and book length manuscripts in the field of Wesleyan studies. Applicants will be matched with specific Asbury Theological Seminary and Asbury University faculty members who have expertise in the areas of interest of the researchers.

There are no tuition charges for the seminars, and participants will have access with full privileges not only to the B.L. Fisher and Kinlaw libraries (including significant electronic databases) but also to their special collection holdings in Wesleyan and Methodist studies. The staff of the Wesleyan Studies Summer Seminar will also help to make arrangements for free housing at the Asbury Inn for each participant throughout the seminar. Beyond this, all other personal expenses (travel and food for example) will be the responsibility of the researchers, though scholarships for the airfare of international researchers will be available and a meal will be provided for everyone on the evening of each seminar at no cost.

The second Wesleyan Studies Summer Seminar will take place from June 4th through June 28, 2012. Seminar sessions will normally be held on Monday and Thursday afternoons.

Applications must be received by January 16, 2012. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by March 16, 2012. Visit our website for a copy of the application and further information.
