A reminder from Morehead’s Musings that the CESNUR Conference is being held in Salt Lake City June 11-13 (Thursday through Saturday). CESNUR stands for the Center for Studies on New Religions. It is an academic organization that promotes the objective and informed study of new religious movements.

If I’m lucky I’ll be able to attend some of the sessions on Saturday.
The Salt Lake Tribune has posted a couple of stories relating to the conference you might find interesting:
