Participate in the October 14 Marian Forum
By Gloria Dodd
The first two free online forums in the fall of 2015 and the spring of 2016 were a huge success with seven countries represented at the second session! The third Marian Forum is scheduled for 2:30-4:30 p.m. Eastern USA time on Friday, October 14. This time there will be three presentations in the first hour about Mary and the Church in the teachings of three popes. Fr. Thomas Thompson, S.M., will present about Paul VI, followed by Sr. Danielle M. Peters, about Pope St. John Paul II, and finally Fr. Alexandre Awi Mello on the topic of Pope Francis. The audience will receive the papers in advance in order to be prepared for the second hour of the session which will be devoted to the questions and comments that the online audience emailed earlier, or posted live in the chatbox, as well as those posed by the in-person audience in Dayton.
We are looking forward to yet another vibrant exchange of Marian scholars and devotees from around the world. Our group would be enriched by your participation either live or by emailed questions or comments in case the exact time of the presentations does not work for you. Please read the abstracts and register before the September 23rd deadline.
