Hi all

I'm going to what looks like being a very interesting colloquium at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, this Saturday. I was doing a google for some information about Fr Richard Price, the Roman Catholic translator and editor of the three volume Acts of the Council of Chalcedon, just published in the Translated Texts for Historians series by Liverpool University, and I discovered that this event was on.

And then my wife said I could go!!!!!!

Here is the programme. I'll report back afterwards.

Dear Peter,

You are a lucky fellow; Mrs. Charmley has other plans for me for the week-end!

I hope you enjoy it, it sounds fascinating. It would be good if you were able to share some of its insights with those of us who cannot get there on Saturday. I wonder if Dr. Steenberg will be there?

In Christ,

John

Dear John

I am certainly looking forward to it, and I am very pleased to be allowed to go.

I would like to go to the International Conference on Patristic Studies at Oxford in August next year, but I am not yet sure when our family holiday will be, and it might be pushing it to try and get permission to go..if they have any spaces left even.

Peter
