April 20-22, 2009, Decatur, GA "Calvin Now!" John Calvin taught that God gives blessings and gifts to ordinary people for vocation and public service, leadership, and care for the poor, the refugee, and the displaced person. And his great gift to us today - now - comes from his development of a viable organization for a continuing Reformed church. More than a celebration of the 500th anniversary of the reformer's birth, Calvin Now! Offers opportunities to consider Calvin as a recourse fresh and vital for our practices of Christian faith today.

May 28-30, 2009, Geneva The Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (SCSC) is now accepting proposals for individual papers and complete sessions for its annual conference, to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Geneva (Switzerland) from 28-30 May 2009. The SCSC is an interdisciplinary scholarly society that is interested in the early modern era (ca. 1450-1660), and its geographical scope is broadly defined. We also welcome roundtable proposals sponsored by scholarly societies that are affiliated with the SCSC. The 2009 SCSC conference is timed to coincide with the 500th Anniversary of John Calvin's birthday and marks a departure from the Society’s usual conference timetable. Although the SCSC prefers papers in English, proposals for presentations in French or German will also be considered. Proposals will be accepted until 7 November 2008. The program committee plans on notifying potential participants within two weeks of the proposal deadline. The conference will take place immediately following the conference “Calvin and his Influence, 1509-2009” sponsored by University of Geneva’s Institut d'histoire de la Réformation and the Faculté autonome de théologie protestante, enabling those who wish to attend both events to do so with a single voyage. Proposals with abstracts (up to 200 words in length) for papers and complete sessions for the SCSC meeting can be submitted on-line via our conference proposals page.
