The College Theology Society holds its fifty-sixth annual convention from June 3-6, 2010 at the University of Portland, in Portland, Oregon. The theme will be Religion, Economics, and Culture in Conflict and Conversation. Our colleagues in the Department of Theology at the University of Portland will serve as the local coordinating team, chaired by Carol Dempsey. Laurie Cassidy of Marywood University and Maureen O'Connell of Fordham University are co-editors for the annual volume.

Scholars who are invited to present their work at a national convention of the College Theology Society must hold membership in the Society when their work is presented. No person may submit more than one proposal for consideration nor may submissions to multiple sections be considered.

College Theology Society sections with their Conveners are listed below (click each topic for more details). The program for the annual meeting with housing and transportation information will be posted on the CTS Website in early Spring 2010. The National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion will once again be joining us this year.
