At the request of Edward Schaefer:

The Society for Catholic Liturgy
2009 Annual Conference
Missale Romanum
Call for Papers

The 2009 annual conference of the Society for Catholic Liturgy will take place at St Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha, NE, from 29 January to 1 February 2009. The conference committee invites submissions for papers from scholars and professionals in fields related to sacred liturgy. SCL members and non-members are welcome to submit proposals.

The topic of the conference is Missale Romanum. Since the SCL is an interdisciplinary society, paper proposals from areas of sacred liturgy and related fields (e.g., liturgical theology and sacramental theology, biblical studies, patristics, medieval studies, eastern christianity, church history), the social sciences, sacred architecture, sacred art, and sacred music will be considered.

Conference presentations will be 30 minutes in length, followed by 20 minutes for discussion. Papers presented will be considered for publication in Antiphon: A Journal for Liturgical Renewal, the journal of the Society for Catholic Liturgy. For guidelines for submissions to Antiphon, please visit www.liturgysociety.org.

Paper proposals of approximately 250 words should be emailed to conference@liturgysociety.org. Proposals must be received by 15 May 2008. Notification of accepted proposals will be sent out on 15 June 2009. Presenters must register for the conference, and will be responsible for their own conference expenses.
