That would be a good one, J. Other good topics would be the concept of “free agency” (I just came across a reference in a proslavery tract that talked about the need for governments so blacks can keep their “free agency”) and the idea of the plan of salvation, which from what I understand is also a Methodist idea. I’ve also come across a few references to “time and eternity” in colonial sources which might be interesting to explore.

If I were to attend, I probably would try to work on the study of “spirit birth” that I have had in my queue for years. Hopefully someone will dig in and do some good work there.

Great, Kent. Don’t forget to post the SLMSSA event also (see previous post). Thanks.
