My friend (and friendly opponent) Chris Date over at Theopologetics has recently signed up to help Dee Dee Warren, one of the site owners of TheologyWeb.com, begin setting up a theology conference at Jacksonville, FL sometime in 2013.
Chris has volunteered to debate in favor of annihilationism against an ECT proponent (although this hasn’t been solidified yet). The only other topic I know of at the moment is Dee’s debate against Alan Kurschner on preterism/futurism.
The organizers would like to see 250 expressions of possible intent to attend in the next two weeks, or the project won’t get off the ground. If anyone here is interested, one of TWeb’s moderators has more information here on her blog; including links to a form for expressing possible intend to attend. (Or here’s a link to the conference survey directly. )
Jacksonville is about 12 hours on the road from where I am, or a flight, and I have to help manage a small factory, so I myself won’t be attending–unless I’m invited for debate or presentation, of course. I’ll see what can be done about that, but other guest authors here (Robin/Gregory, Tom Talbott, Bob Wilson, etc.) may also wish to volunteer for duty.
(A shadowcopy of this thread will be left in the Member Announcement category, by the way, but I’ll be moving it to General Theology until when-if-ever it makes sense to move it somewhere more particular.)
