2011 Missiology Conference
Urban Mission/Short-Term Missions
February 26, 2011 (8:15 - 4:30)
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois
Call for Papers: The EMS will focus on Urban Mission in 2011, but our region will also feature other tracks. A variety of themes (short-term missions, sex-trafficking and missions, race and missions, "health and wealth" gospel, etc.) may also be included. If you have a paper/presentation you would like to bring, please contact rpriest@tiu.edu with your proposed title, as well as brief information about yourself and what you bring to this project.
It will not be until the fall of 2010 that we will actively be putting together the program for this conference, but a web page will be maintained listing some of the planned presentations as they are confirmed.

The involvements and experiences of women, African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and white Americans will be featured. One room will be devoted to Spanish language presentations, and there will also be a parallel track focused on Diverse Approaches in Christian-Muslim Encounters.
