This conference will chart, navigate and celebrate the painful pleasures that we experience in the journey of faith, in the life of the body, and in crossing the thresholds of life. It will be an opportunity for members of the church, the public and the academy to acknowledge the painful pleasures of life and cooperate in securing places for those who are vulnerable and not yet at home in their current places. There will be presentations over a spectrum of painful pleasure subjects ranging from faith to bible to body to church to life to conversion to marriage to divorce to stress to mental illness to O.C. to home to fluid to moana to politics and so forth …

And the best thing, will be me of course. Presenting work from the PhD and the ol’ masters. Click here to find out more and register.
