now--see excerpt below--because, while "early bird" Winter Institute
registration is open until later into January, the deadline for discounted
room rate at the state park lodge is much sooner--Wednesday, January 11. For

Summer Institute, from which Winter Institute was an offshoot, decades ago:
This gathering is much less structured. Low key. Informal but worthy vespers.
Mealtime conversation that's better than the OK food. Lots of interaction with
UUs, day into night, if you wish. Or, be largely on your own in a neat
park. If you wish, give me a buzz at our home landline:

will offer a workshop titled, “God Optional: Theologies Among Us Today.” John
Buehrens and Rebecca Ann Parker surveyed the hope-filled thought patterns in
progressive religion today in their book, A House for Hope: The Promise of
Progressive Religion in the 21st Century (Beacon, 2010). While their framework
borrows from a heritage of Judeo-Christian systematic theology, it also makes
room for humanist, indigenous, and non-Western a/theologies. All such thinking,
however, needs to meet some overriding and important tests to be effective.
Tests which will be revealed in the workshop. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
