Attention Chestertonians

The Australian Chesterton Society and the G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture will be jointly sponsoring a conference with the theme Redeeming the Culture: The Reforming Vision of G.K. Chesterton. The conference will focus on the enduring value of Chesterton's thought, especially in light of the centenary of publication of Orthodoxy and The Man Who Was Thursday.

The conference will be on the weekend of June 30 - July 2 at Campion College and will be an excellent opportunity for younger Catholics to discover this giant of Catholicism as they prepare for World Youth Day. Speakers include Sheridan Gilley (Emeritus Reader in Theology, Durham University), Thomas Storck (Board Member of the Chesterton Review) and Karl Schmude (President of the Chesterton Society and guest speaker at the Library's own conference in 2006).

For further information please contact Karl by email on kschmude@northnet.com.au or phone on 0407721458.
