The Louchery Theological
Series
This conference
balances study with leisure and worship with fellowship amid the ancient
live oaks and golden marshland of St. Simons Island, GA. Two eminent
scholars will conduct lectures and hold discussion sessions on two topics of
the highest relevance to our lives as 21st Century Christians:
biomedical ethics and Islam. The conference activities take place at the
historic Christ Church, Frederica.

of the Church of England and former Warden of the Society of Ordained
Scientists. He is presently on the staff at Bruton Parish in Williamsburg,

land and is widely known throughout the UK and America for his knowledge of
the relationship of science, technology and ethics.
The Reverend Canon Christopher Chase

of Tennessee. Canon Chase is a recognized expert on Islam.
