ATLANTIC THEOLOGICAL CONFERENCE 2012
Advance Notice:
The 2012 Atlantic Theological Conference will take place at St. Peter's Cathedral in Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island from June 26 (evening) to June 29 (noon). The
topic of this year's conference will be “The New Atheism.” We regret to
have to announce that due to altered circumstances, Peter Hitchens, who was
to have been our keynote speaker, now finds himself unable to be with us
for this year's Conference.
The Conference Committee is still in the process of finalizing speakers,
but some who will be participating are The Revd Dr Gary Thorne, Chaplain at
the University of King's College and Dalhousie University in Halifax; Dr
David Deane, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at the
Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax; Prudence Dailey, President of the
British Prayer Book Society; and the Revd Dr Thomas Curran, Associate
Professor of Humanities at the University of King's College, Halifax. Papers
will include such topics as Darwinism and Marxism, The Evil of Religion,
Nietzsche and the Existence of God, and "The Bible: Foundational Document
for the New Atheism."
Further information will be posted on this Website as it becomes available, and brochures will
be available soon.
