  Shrine Mont Conference Center, Orkney Springs, VA
  Keynote Speaker: Father Matthew Moretz
  Cost: $399
  
  For 33 years, the Diocese of Southern Virginia has sponsored an Adult Education Conference at Shrine Mont. People from all across the country have heard about and attended our conference. It provides an important time for us to come together to share our stories and get to know each other. Shrine Mont, in the beautiful Shenandoah mountains of Virginia, provides a sacred setting where, for a brief moment, we can grow together in our faith. It is a time to deepen our commitment to Christ as we live in a community which both challenges and nurtures us. It offers the freedom to explore new expressions of faith in dialogue with our Anglican heritage of Scripture, tradition, and reason. It is a holy “mountain top” experience.
