Of Interest

5th Syriac Studies Symposium
Toronto, June 25-27, 2007

1) We have received several requests to extend the deadline of submitting registration and reservation forms and titles and abstracts of papers. With pleasure we extend the deadline to March 31, 2007 at the latest.

2) Some asked if they could give papers not directly related to the Symposium's theme (Syriac as a Bridge Culture), and we would like to confirm that such papers are also welcome. All papers are subject to the approval of the Organizing Committee.

3) We have received a number of papers on Syriac Christianity in modern times. Given the circumstances now in the Middle East, more of such papers are particularly welcome.

4) The symposium will start on Monday June 25, 9 am, and will end with a Mass and dinner at the Cathedral Church of St Mary (Assyrian Church of the East), on Wednesday June 27 in the evening. If you do not live in or near Toronto, you ought to come to Toronto at least one day earlier and leave at least one day later.

We look forward to welcoming you all at the Symposium

The Organizing Committee.
