The Apostolic Johannite Church and St. Sarah’s Parish are excited to announce some great changes to Conclave 2016.
Don’t worry- We’re still bringing you our full lineup of great talks and workshops- most notably- Dr. Karen King of Harvard University to speak on Mystery and Secrecy in the Apocryphon of John
What we’re changing is the cost. We’ve reworked the costs and venue to make it easier to attend and more manageable for those with both difficult schedules and difficult budgets.
Here’s how it works-
Lodging is not included and is the responsibility of the attendee
Full Conclave Registration- $300 (includes all talks, lunch and/or dinner as scheduled each day)
Weekend Pass- $100 (includes Saturday talks, Saturday lunch, Saturday steak dinner, Sunday dinner)
Saturday only- $60 (includes talks, saturday lunch and steak dinner in the evening)
All other days- $50 each (including scheduled talks, meals as noted on schedule)
Except as noted on the schedule- all liturgies, talks and meals will be held at:
