As in years past, the conference will include a Mass on Saturday evening. The celebrant and homilist of this year’s Mass, will be the Most Reverend David Zubik, Bishop of Pittsburgh. Also as in years past, the conference will mark the release of the newest volume of the St. Paul Center’s journal of biblical theology, Letter and Spirit. This year’s volume is entitled “Liturgy and Empire,” and its articles take a fresh look at the relationship between the temporal world and the spiritual world in Scripture and Tradition. Every person who attends the conference will receive a copy of the journal free of charge.
