About the Conferences
Grand Island is one of the most beautiful and largest islands in Lake
Superior. Inhabited for generations by the Ojibwa peoples, it is today
the Grand Island National Recreation Area with a wilderness character.
In keeping with such a tranquil
and beautiful place, Grand Island Conferences are planned so that all
participants will have the opportunity to experience its beauty and
power. The conferences are unique, in that they are planned to not only
stimulate the intellect, but also provide the aesthetic and spiritual
understandings usually associated with a retreat setting.
We will not only be participating in stimulating theological
conversations on topics of great importance, but we shall also partake
of the beauty of the lake, the island, and the Pictured Rocks National
Lakeshore. We shall be taking boat cruises along Lake Superior, hiking
in the
park, listening to lectures on the parks' natural and cultural history,
as well as viewing the numerous shipwrecks in the adjacent underwater
sanctuary on a special sunset cruise. All of this will take place in
and
around the community of Munising Michigan; one of the most beautiful
natural
settings on Lake Superior.
Please consider joining us for these days of contemplation and beauty.
