CHS Winter Conference 2010 Afterthought

On Thursday 11 February 2010, the day before PantheaCon started, Cherry Hill Seminary (CHS) held their Winter Conference. The conference, which featured Steven Posch, went really well with participants thoroughly enjoying themselves. Steven was his usually bubbly effervescent self.

We were privileged to have Robert Brandon Longcrier of the Military Pagan Network in attendance. He recently came to prominence by establishing a worship area for earth-based religions at the US Airforce Academy in Colorado. The site was subsequently desecrated by Christians who surreptitiously left a huge cross in the worship area. Why are some Christians so obsessed with trying to force the world to believe what they’ve chosen to believe? Everyone should be able to practice their own religion as they choose without interference by intolerant minority groups.

One of the best things about the Winter Conference is that it is the event that brings together the largest number of CHS students, faculty and board members. It’s great actually meeting people who I normally communicate with via email and sometimes telephone. For photographs, check out CHS’s Facebook page.
