Last weekend I attended “Renewing the Face of the Earth,” a conference at the university of St. Thomas. Lots of focus on thinking green, emphasis on thinking–tons of philosophy and theology that was way over my head. Favorites included friend Strat Caldecott, acquaintance Joseph Pearce, Paul Monson, & Paul Gondreau.

I went because there were going to be a series of talks on the family and human ecology, and to network for my family’s non-profit, Ruah. Because of a storm, I ended up spending nine hours at the airport before finally getting into the twin cities early in the morning, which made me late for the conference. Long story short, I missed the family and human ecology talks, but got some great networking done.

The talks, however, will be available either online or published soon, so I’ll let you know/ post when I get them.

Conference Schedule.

I’m off to the “Renewing the Face of the Earth” Conference at the University of St. Thomas today. It’s a conference on stewardship and creation, which will touch a plethora of topics, including procreation and domestic prudence. I’ll keep you posted on the joys to be found in St Paul this weekend (to include Janet Smith).
