More About ΘeoCon

I’ve received some additional information about the ΘeoCon event that will be held in September, which I blogged about yesterday, and want to share it, since the more I find out, the more it seems like an event that will be worth attending! I am good friends with a couple of faculty members at Virginia Theological Seminary, as well as with one of the keynote speakers who is lined up: Chuck Robertson, the canon to the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church USA, fellow Durham University grad and comic book geek, who edited a couple of books that I contributed to, including Religion as Entertainment, which really marked my first foray into academic writing about the intersection of religion and science fiction.

Here is what I received about the convention:

It is here! “ΘeoCon: Where Theology Meets Pop Culture” will take place on September 29, 2018 9am-5pm, at Virginia Theological Seminary-Addison Hall, 3737 Seminary Rd., Alexandria, VA, 22304.

About

ΘeoCon, pronounced (thee-oh-con), is a one-day comic-con-style convention in which participants will be introduced and invited to explore themes of theology, religion, and morality in pop culture. Pop culture mediums include, but are not limited to: comic books, gaming, science-fiction, and film. Methods of exploration include: guest speakers, panel discussions, exhibits, reflection spaces, and cosplay.

Who’s Coming

All are invited. The event is family-friendly, ecumenical, interfaith, inclusive, open and affirming, and for those who do not find religious institutions as inviting.
