So for the final two sessions of Carey, we heard again from James Mildred and Peter Williams and again it was excellent stuff. James looked at the whole assisted suicide bill on which he is very well informed. Peter looked at names in the Bible, which I have heard him on before but this was a fresh and lively presentation. In fact both of these men have spoken with passion and erudition throughout the conference and been a real blessing. About hundred must have been here. The twenty or so women have had their own track with Linda Alcock, looking at Philemon. The high quality and relevance of the last day's speakers made it difficult to choose when to have these sessions.
Nice to see many old friends and to meet new ones. There was a good balance of old and young. It was good to see John Benton there for a while after his being so unwell recently. The nice bookstalls added to the ambience.
The plan is to meet again next year (5-7) when the main speaker will be Pascal Denault (See here).
