We are the High Desert Christian Writers, an informal group of local wordsmiths who meet monthly for fellowship, education, and encouragement. If you live in the area, or are just passing through, we invite you to join us. While we share a faith in the risen Lord, most of us don't write material that's overtly religious. We write novels, magazine articles, humor, children's books, and just about
everything else. And oh yes, a couple of us actually write about theology and church history. Our fearless leader, Don Patterson, serves as the pastor of the church that hosts our regular monthly meetings, and he directed our conference in the yearly years. Don can be reached at don@theology.edu.
If you like, you can bring up to four double-spaced pages of something you've written. We will have someone read it aloud before the group, and offer helpful hints to make it the best it can be.
Come and join us at 10:00 am on the second Tuesday of each month. We will meet until noon, and then go out to lunch at a local eatery. ______________________________________________________________________
Our conference is co-sponsored by the Quartz Hill School of Theology, which offers a free and open educational resource for self-learners everywhere. Their mission is to advance knowledge and education, and serve the world in the 21st century. Robin Nettelhorst, himself a distinguished Bible scholar and multi- published author, heads the school and teaches many of the classes. He can be reached at robin@theology.edu
The courses cover a wide range of subjects. They are offered as shareware (which means that you don't have to pay unless you want to), or in a traditional classroom setting. As with other shareware, there are some advantages to paying. For instance, you'll get academic credit for your work. Check out a course, try it on for size, see if it fits.
