Cynthia,
This is a great contribution! I hope that it comes together well for you. My only regret is that I won’t be able to participate directly.
Hi Travis,
Well your conference was one of the inspirations for this! Please spread the word.
Best wishes,
Cynthia
Thanks for the link, Ben, Travis and “An Eye Made Quiet.” I’ve already received three excellent proposals for mini-essays via email, so please keep the proposals coming. We do, however, need some responders to sign up.
Hey, this is a great idea!
Thanks for putting this together Cynthia; this looks excellent!
Thanks, Dave and Wayne. I’m pretty excited about it, as the participants all have great topics and have come up with excellent ideas.
I could do a little post on the reception of Augustine’s account of divine memory by Henry of Ghent and Duns Scotus … that is, if there’s still room for such a topic.
