Next week will be the Symposium on the Mariology of Bd. John Duns Scotus in Durham, England at Grey College, Tuesday, September 9th through the 12th. The symposium commemorates the 700th Anniversary of the death of Scotus, the Marian Doctor. We have Fra Roderic on location with AirMaria equipment. So we may be live streaming the conference if we can get a sufficient Internet connection. If we do, it will start each day at 9:00am Greenwich Time and go till 7pm [4am – 2pm Eastern USA Time] except Wednesday when we will quit the conference room at 10:30 [5:30 EDT] to go to Duns, Scotland to see the birth place of Scotus. There we will have a Mass celebrated in the Parish Church by His Eminence Keith Patrick Cardinal O?Brien, Archbishop of Edinburgh. We will not know if we can stream until Monday. So stayed tuned. Either way, we will put the recorded conferences on AirMaria in the following weeks.

Ave Maria!
