[Oe List ...] Common Dreams Conference # 2 held recently in Melbourne.

[Isobel and Jim Bishop]

Hi Ellie and all,
No I won't be going back down to Melbourne again, although I would  
love to! Our Church has completed the LTQ series, and we really  
enjoyed both Borg and Crossan in the Visit to Palestine.  Ellie, I'll  
send on the Lectures when they arrive here. If I were still a Parish  
Minister I would sure be looking for colleagues for support as I  
presented the Progressive Christianity style and content.

Peace be with you,
Isobel Bishop.
