The above schedule is subject to change up to the time of (i.e., maybe the day or even hour before) the conference.

We certainly hope that many of you will be able to attend some, most, or even all of this conference, which (I’m confident) will offer much that’s of interest.

The temple, in its ancient and modern manifestations, is one of our principal interests at the Interpreter Foundation, and we intend to pursue temple studies even more vigorously in the future than we already have.

In this connection, however, it might not be inappropriate to mention that we have published several books on the subject of the temple, as well as on other, related, topics:

With the Christmas holidays coming up, these would make excellent gifts!

In the meantime, I hope to see you on Saturday.
