The keynote speaker on Thursday afternoon 1.30 – 4p.m. (with a break) is Timothy Johnson, Professor of History at Flagler College, St Augustine. Professor Johnson is a distinguished scholar of the medieval period specializing in the theology of Bonaventure and the Franciscans. He is the English translator of an important life of St Francis from the period shortly after Francis’s death--- considered lost for centuries and only recently discovered in the Vatican Library. He will present some aspect of Franciscan theology that has contemporary relevance to us in our ministry today. He is a brilliant teacher, lecturer and a lay Franciscan.
On Friday March 8th Bishop Howard will speak to us for an hour after breakfast and then he will celebrate the Eucharist and preach in Mandi’s Chapel at 10.30 a.m. The clergy will be invited to renew their vows and invited to bring their oil stocks for sacramental use for the Bishop to bless.
