With the departure of Pr. Daniel Voigt, who accepted a call to serve a congregation in Minnesota, the agenda for our October pastoral study conference had to be revised slightly.
Prof. Thomas Nass, a member of the Translation Evaluation Committee, who was planning on attending the conference anyways, has consented to fill Pr. Voigt’s slot to cover issues regarding translation philosophy.
