Dear Friends,
As Anthony Le Donne’s colleague, co-editor, and co-organizer for the conference, let me say that I’m as destroyed as anyone at the unexpected dismissal of him. One of the first things we decided, however, was that the conference would no longer be on LCU’s campus. We are currently seeking an alternative host site.

His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

This is absolutely ridiculous. I would love to see proof or even verbal confirmation that the organizers of the conference are privy to both sides of the story, not just Anthony Ledonne’s side, but know of the conversations that went on behind the scenes and exactly why LCU did what they did. If not they shouldn’t be trying to penalize Lincoln Christian University. This is a petty move, but pettiness has been the name of the game from so many involed in this controversy, so I’m not surprised. What a shame.
Eric, I’m not sure you understand that some of the organizers actually teach there.
Eric – Dr. Keith and Dr. Le Donne were the co organizers of the conference. Dr. Le Donne is to speak in said conference. It would be kinda weird, don’t you think, for one of your key speakers to vocalize his or her professional insights on the campus of the University that just dismissed him for said insights?
