On the Heels of Rome's Scripture Synod, Conference Comes to Denver at a Perfect Time
Contact: Christine Schicker, The Maximus Group, 404-610-8871
WEST CHESTER, Penn., Feb. 4 /Standard Newswire/ -- Denver, Colorado has been chosen as the host of the 2009 National Catholic Bible Conference. In an answer to the call of the Scripture synod held in Rome last fall, the theme of the event is "Scripture in the Life and Mission of the Church." On June 26 and 27, ten of the most effective Catholic Bible teachers and Biblical scholars in the country will gather at St. Thomas More Church in Centennial to share the keys to effective Bible study.
This two day conference will continue the message of evangelization given by Pope John Paul II in Denver in 1993 and elaborate on the message of Pope Benedict at the conclusion of the recent synod in Rome this past October as he called for a "robust and credible pastoral promotion of the knowledge of Sacred Scripture."
The conference will begin with mass, and then a keynote by His Excellency Archbishop Charles Chaput on Friday morning, June 26. This will be followed by talks that offer opportunities to encounter Scripture in an informative and transformative sense, and inspire participants to put God's Word into practice.
Sponsored by Ascension Press, The Augustine Institute, and The Denver Catholic Biblical School, the National Catholic Bible Conference looks to bring people from all over the United States and Canada together to glean both knowledge and encouragement from gifted Catholic speakers including Jeff Cavins, Dr. Tim Gray, Dr. Ted Sri, Dr. Brant Pitre, Dr. Peter Wiliamson, Dr. Mary Healy, Curtis Martin, Thomas Smith, Sarah Christmyer, and Deb Holiday.
Registration is currently open with a discounted rate available for those registered by May 1, 2009. Information on the conference and how to register can be found on www.CatholicBibleConference.com.
For interviews with Jeff Cavins or Dr. Tim Gray, please contact Christine Schicker of The Maximus Group at 404-610-8871.
