Please plan to register early; space is limited. Sometimes we have had to turn away families because of the space limitation.

Most rooms accommodate up to four people (a double bed and a bunk bed with private bath), and one or two additional family members may be accommodated in the same room on the floor if you wish to bring sleeping bags for them. Single adults who wish to room together should send in their registration forms together, otherwise they will be paired with other singles if space is limited.

Resources recommended by Rick Ufford-Chase

• The Biblical Vision of Sabbath Economics, by Ched Myers (Tell the Word Press, 2001).
• The Biblical Jubilee and the Struggle for Life, by Ross and Gloria Kinsler (Orbis, 1999).
• Say to This Mountain: Mark's Story of Discipleship, by Ched Myers with Marie Dennis, Joseph Nangle, Cynthia Moe-Lobeda and Stuart Taylor (Orbis, 1996).
  Series of Bible studies on the Gospel of Mark.

• The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon, by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan (HarperOne, 2009).
  This is easier reading than the scholarly In Search of Paul: How Jesus' Apostle Opposed Rome's Empire with God's Kingdom, by John Dominic Crossan and Jonathan L. Reed (HarperCollins, 2004). Here's an excerpt from the book.
• ... but also see Believers Church Bible Commentary, e.g., the commentary on 1&2 Timothy and Titus by Paul M. Zehr (Hearld Press: 2010), which provides a more balanced survey of recent scholarship concerning authorship and interpretation of Paul's disputed letters (cf. Introduction and Essays).
• The Last Week: A Day-by-Day Account of Jesus's Final Week in Jerusalem, by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan (Harper, 2006).
• The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Birth, by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan (HarperOne, 2007).

• White Privilege: Readings on the Other Side of Racism, edited by Paula Rothenberg (3rd Edition, 2007). This collection of essays provides essential reading for white Americans involved in social justice work. It is best used as basis for a series of small-group discussions.
• Also see, for example, Whiteness Studies: Deconstructing (the) Race (University of WisconsinÐMilwaukee)
• State of the Dream 2011: Austerity for Whom? (PDF) - report from United for a Fair Economy (UFE) - makes very clear how US economic policies are biased against America's poor and racial/ethnic minority people. UFE also has other related resources.
