To discuss the issue of blogs as a social force, the Newman Society is having a small colloquium on Friday, 15th February from 6-830pm in the Meeting Room of the Catholic Chaplaincy, Rose Place,St Aldates, Oxford (location) with a number of prominent bloggers.
This event will be quite informal and interactive and will discuss the nature of blogs--who read them and why; why are they written; do the bloggers have a social responsibility; and should we even care about them?
Speakers are:
Rev’d Fr John T Zuhlsdorf, author of ‘What does the Prayer Really Say?’
Rev’d Fr John Hunwicke, author of ‘Fr Hunwicke’s Liturgical Notes’
Br Lawrence Lew OP, ‘The New Liturgical Movement’ and ‘Godzdogz’
Matthew Doyle, author of ‘Lacrimarum Valle’

Bloggers' Colloquium
Just received this notice via Facebook. I am sorry that I cannot be there but I have a meeting with the first communion parents in my parish. I look forward to hearing how it went - it should be a good session.

Yes, this event only seems to have been advertised during this week, which is a shame. I too will be very curious to see what questions and observations are raised.
I thought that the whole point of you bloggers was that you were heard, and not seen.
Fr Tim, you have (as ever) chosen the better part.
Fr Zuhlsdorf was in Rome until Tuesday and then visited Portsmouth - you can see a report of this on his blog.
