Dear APT Membership,
Spring greetings to you all! Where I am, in Connecticut, we are just beginning to enjoy an inkling of spring, so I title this the “spring letter” in optimism and hope. I hope this letter finds you well wherever you may be. The main purpose of my writing to you is to keep you informed about what is going on in our association, particularly concerning upcoming events and other current APT business. To get that started, let me shout out two “save the date” notices:
- APT at AAR: November 18-21, 2017, Boston, MA. Theme: “Practical Theology, Bodily (Im)proprieties, Mobilizing Resistance.”
- APT Biennial Meeting, April 13-15, 2018, Yale University Divinity School, New Haven, CT. Theme: “Making Justice: Practical Theology, the Arts, and Transformation.” Information about paper proposals, conference registration, and housing will be available in the fall.
The full letter continues at the website of the Association of Practical Theology.
