Conference Plenary Papers  

Only limited time is available at the conference for addressing the many dimensions arising from the conference theme. Each morning two plenary speakers from the same continent, but different church traditions and settings,  will offer their perspectives on the theme. They will not read full papers, rather they will give summaries of papers submitted in writing - and enter into dialog with each other.

Therefore the full plenary papers are to be read by all participants before arriving at the conference or at least before the sessions begin.
