Recognising the recent upsurge in blogs and blog readers in the world, a special Colloquium has been organised by the Oxford University Newman Society, which will be held at the Catholic Chaplaincy on Friday, February 15, 2008 from 6-8:30 pm on the theme, ‘Blogging and the Church.’This event will be quite informal and interactive and will discuss the nature of blogs: —What effect have blogs had on the Church? Who writes blog, who reads them? Are blogs an efficient way to disseminate information? What are the responsibilities of bloggers? Are blogs social forces?
The speakers are:
Rev’d Fr John T Zuhlsdorf, author of ‘What does the Prayer Really Say?’
Rev’d Fr John Hunwicke, author of ‘Fr Hunwicke’s Liturgical Notes’
Br Lawrence Lew OP, ‘contributor on ‘Godzdogz’
Matthew Doyle, author of ‘Lacrimarum Valle’

I'm not a regular blogger but I very much enjoy this blog. I find it a great reminder of the riches of the Catholic tradition and an encouragement in faith and prayer. I am grateful for the often daily material you produce, the wonderful photos and illustrations and particularly the recent posts about lectio divina and the suggested readings. I hope that people who are currently outside the churches see it because I think it communicates things very beautifully. Many thanks, David
