GodsBigBlog: I’m Off to a Religion Newswriters Conference

September 7, 2009 By Barbara Falconer Newhall

I’m off to a Religion Newswriters Association conference in Minneapolis — September 10 – 12, 2009.

Religion and the Obama administration, religion and immigration and my favorite, the disappearing hymnal, will be among the topics.

If you’d rather hear about my Case of the Human Condition, or check out my Book Openers, or join me in The Writing Room, just click on your favorite category on the navigation bar at the top of the page. –Barbara
