Happy summer. It has been six months since the last newsletter. NAPS is a bit sleepy during the year when there is no conference. Here is all the news that has accumulated since December.

 

Oxford Conference

Members who plan to attend the Oxford Patristics Conference are invited to attend the NAPS reception Tuesday evening, August 17 in the Hall of Wadham College, beginning at 8:30. The main entrance to Wadham is located on Parks Rd. (down from the corner of Parks and Holywell St.), not far from the Bodleian Library and Sheldonian Theatre. See you there.
