The Friends of Mount Athos - Third Madingley Hall Conference
 
MOUNT ATHOS: THE LAST FIFTY YEARS AND THE NEXT

 

9 - 11 February 2007

Madingley Hall, Cambridge

 

 

Madingley Hall is a grand seventeenth-century country house 3 miles west of Cambridge. It belongs to the university and serves as a designated conference centre. With its 50 single rooms and 13 shared rooms (all with en-suite facilities) it provides comfortable accommodation for up to 76 delegates as well as ample car parking in its 7-acre grounds.

 

Following the success of their first two conferences in 2003 and 2005, the Friends of Mount Athos have decided to return to Madingley for a third conference in February 2007. Between dinner on Friday 9 February and lunch on Sunday 11 February there will be a series of talks presented by scholars of international renown, each of whom has an intimate knowledge of some aspect of the current situation on the Holy Mountain and is keen to make the topic accessible to a broadly based audience.

The main speakers will be:
Bishop Kallistos Ware (Oxford)
Dr Graham Speake (Oxford)
Dr Oliver Rackham (Cambridge)
Professor René Gothóni (Helsinki)
William Lillie (Thessaloniki)
Dr Nicholas Konstas (Simonopetra Monastery)

There will be a framework of Orthodox church services which the non-Orthodox will be welcome to attend.

 

Total cost (including registration, accommodation, all meals): £200.00 ($362)

Full-time students (including registration, accommodation, all meals): £120.00 ($217)

Non-residential rate (as above, but without accommodation): £90.00 ($163)

Student non-residential rate: £65.00 ($120)

Since the number of places is strictly limited, members are advised to make a reservation as soon as possible.
The conference is also open to non-members.
