Bebbington visit

If you're in or around Melbourne next week, you might like to come along to this mini-conference that I'm organising, which kicks off with a paper from David Bebbington, godfather of British evangelical history:

'Fanaticism and Sound Learning: Primitive Methodist Revival in County Durham in 1851'
David Bebbington, University of Stirling
1-2pm, Tuesday, 29th August
Jessie Webb Library, Dept of History, University of Melbourne

Followed by a seminar on 'Religion in the Modern World', 2 - 5.30pm.
Members of the Department will present papers on their own research into the historical place of religion in the modern world. After the seminar, all are invited to dinner at a restaurant on Lygon St.

Organising this seminar (and writing a paper for it) is one of the things keeping me too busy to blog!
