Please join us for the 2001 Washington, DC Sunstone Symposium. We promise an
inviting line-up of guest speakers, local presenters, humorists, and
musicians. In response to requests from many of you last year, more time
will be built into the schedule for mingling with fellow attendees and for
browsing the book and audio-tape tables.
The symposium will be held in a convenient, modern facility (the same
location as last year's Friday night festivities), less than a 5-minute walk
from the Ballston Metro, a number of restaurants, and the Ballston Common
shopping mall and food court. Several hotels are also within easy walking
distance.

For twenty-five years, Sunstone has been celebrating
MORMON EXPERIENCE, SCHOLARSHIP, ISSUES, &ART
****************************************************************
JOIN WITH us at this year's symposium to celebrate our rich and diverse
Mormon thought and culture. You'll reap the insights and share the company of
interesting, informed individuals who seek to better understand their faith
and religion and to interpret the larger world through it.
THIS SYMPOSIUM is dedicated to the idea that the truths of the gospel of
Jesus Christ are better understood and, as a consequence, better lived when
they are freely and frankly explored within the society of the Saints.
WE RECOGNIZE that the search for things that are, have been, and are to be is
a sifting process in which much chaff will have to be inspected and threshed
before wheat can be harvested.
IN SPONSORING this symposium, we welcome the honest ponderings of Latter-day
Saints and their friends and expect that everyone will approach all issues,
no matter how difficult, with intelligence and good will.
Why you should attend the Sunstone symposium:
****************************************************************
FAITH. Hear words that inspire Christian living by exploring gospel truths,
sharing spiritual journeys, and untying knotty challenges.
COMMUNITY. Meet new friends whose thoughts and experiences parallel yours.
The symposium provides a forum for meeting scholars, sharing with others of
similar interests, and joining in hallway conversations.
KNOWLEDGE. Learn new strategies to be an intelligent Christian disciple in
the (post)modern age, and gain insights in understanding your own journey.
FUN. Wrestle with new, stimulating, and lively viewpoints. Buy the latest
books. Wonder at the blooming diversity among God's people.
