Colleagues and friends gathered at Virginia Theological Seminary this past week to pay tribute to Dr. Larry Golemon following his recent retirement as Executive Director of the Consortium after 15 years. 2-and-a-half-days of presentations from colleagues in the field of ecumenical and interfaith dialogue and responses from Dr. Golemon contributed to a robust dialogue that served as a touchstone for his accomplishments over the years. The conference included a reception where colleagues offered more personal tributes as well. Additional photos and videos of the paper presentations will be shared as they become available! https://bit.ly/4cejY5e
