13th Aquinas - Luther Conference

This Friday, Oct. 28, 2005, Lenoir-Rhyne College will host the 13th annual Aquinas-Luther Conference. In every one of the previous twelve years, the conference has been a three-day affair, typically lasting Thursday through Saturday. This year the LRC Center for Theology, sponsor of the Conference, is trying a one-day arrangement for greater convenience to clergy. Here is the program:
