2010 Ghost Ranch class

I will be teaching a weeklong Ghost Ranch seminar the week of July 12-18, 2010, called "Death and Its Mysteries: Writing about the Journey." For a link to the online catalogue page about the class, click here so you can register.

Perhaps no subject is so central to the Christian life and so little understood as death. We will spend a week thinking, talking and writing about many aspects of death — ours and others’. And we will share our essays, poems, hymns, sermons and other writing with each other as we affirm that we cannot understand our own life if we don’t understand our own death.

For registration for any class at the ranch, go to www.ghostranch.org and click on the registration button at the top of the page.

Click on this Ghost Ranch link for information about this national Presbyterian conference center in northern New Mexico, about an hour north of Santa Fe in the beautiful red rock hills that Georgia O'Keeffe painted so often.

I hope my photo here from Ghost Ranch gives you at least a taste of what you can expect there.

Classes at the Abiquiu location (there's also a Ghost Ranch facility in Santa Fe) typically meet each morning, Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 until noon and each evening from 7 to 8:30. It's a wonderful, relaxed-but-stimulating atmosphere.

And, no, you don't have to be a Presbyterian to join us. People of any faith, and none, are welcome.

I would sure like to be in that class at Ghost Ranch. Of course, none of knows what will take place in the next year. I live in Albuquerque and am familiar with the Ranch.
