I just received this email from the Coordinator of the Anabaptist-Mennonite Scholars Network:
Please note that there will be no Mennonite Scholars and Friends Forum or Reception at this year’s AAR and SBL meetings, because we were unable to make the necessary arrangements for hosting and sponsorship. The intent is to resume annual meetings in 2010.
The Mennonite Scholars and Friends Forum and Reception are often the highlight of the conference for me, or at least in the top five highlights. I’m bummed to get this news, but I will look forward to next year!
Update: We got a correction that the reception will go on! Good, I look forward to some Menno-schmoozing.
The Mennonite Scholars and Friends Reception will occur at SBL in New Orleans, hosted by Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary / Institute of Mennonite Studies:Friday, November 20, 7:00-8:30 pmGallier A, Sheraton New Orleans
