The BACI working group plans to offer a number of forums and services to the COI in due course. Some of the ideas in the offing include:
- A List of Biblical Scholars currently living/working in Ireland.
- Links to recommended study materials.
- Recommended common study themes. The first was Lent 2011. A new study on economic justice is planned for Lent 2012.
- Periodic conferences and lectures. Our first conference will be in April 2012.
- Published materials.
Keep watch for developments.
Two initiatives in 2012:
A conference on the Bible in the Church of Ireland is will be held at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute in Dublin on 21 April 2012.
BACI's first annual Day-Symposium
A Lent resource for 2012 on the theme of Economic Justice, which is available now, in the Lent 2012 tab above.
If you haven’t already done so, can I recommend that you discuss your objectives and aims with the Irish Biblical Association? Their focus is very similar, and their ethos is ecumenical.
