The Program: The Executive Committee has put together again this spring a program centered around a single theme. Issues around human sexuality, generally, and homosexuality, specifically, continued to impact every denomination, many individual churches, a host of individuals, and most academic institutions in North America. Regardless of their level of readiness, the realities of the contemporary period push faculty and administrators alike to come to terms with their own and with their school’s admission requirements (or restrictions), student demographics, curriculum, philosophy of education, content of particular courses, pedagogical techniques, support systems, student groups, extra-curricular activities and a myriad of invisible issues–unseen at least until they explode. This meeting cannot begin to address all the issues, but will focus on certain pedagogical practices, hermeneutics and homosexuality in the Hebrew Scriptures, and critical theological reflection on the homosexuality debate. For all the other related concerns that swirl around human sexuality, the Executive Committee invites you to explore the richness of your colleagues’ insights, experiences, commitments, and practices.
If you are unable to attend the full meeting, you should feel free to participate in whichever segment of the program fits your schedule. The Executive Committee designs each program for both colleagial renewal and vigorous intellectual engagement. Why not break free of your routine and engage your colleagues over good food and drink for mind, body, and soul? For further information, contact any of the Society’s officers or Paul Parker at the addresses below.
Registration and Dinner Reservations: Every fall and spring meeting our colleagues of the host institutions will find their tasks greatly eased if we register for the meeting and make reservations for the dinner. Registration and reservations could not be simpler. Call, write, or email Paul Parker through your medium of choice and declare your intentions: office phone (630) 617-3559; paulp@elmhurst.edu; or Department of Theology and Religion–Box 26, Elmhurst College, 190 Prospect Ave., Elmhurst, IL 60126. Dinner is $12.00. Because ATS meetings are supported by the host institutions, for which the Society is deeply appreciative, registration is without charge.
Dues: Annual membership dues (to cover the costs of printing, postage, and other incidentals) are $15 for members and $10 for associate members to be paid to the Acting Treasurer, Paul Parker, each year at the fall meeting. If you did not submit your dues last fall, you may attend to it at the spring meeting or at any time through the mail. Attention to this is appreciated. Also, the Society’s membership roster remains strong only as we advocate the Society to our eligible colleagues, invite them to join us, and sponsor them for membership.
Directions and Parking: Both North Hall and the Frick Center of Elmhurst College are located on the eastern end of the campus which is accessed from Alexander Street on the north side of campus. A detailed map with specific directions for those arriving by air, car, or train can be found by following the prompt “Contact Information” at Elmhurst College’s website,
