 comer, who will speak to the topic “Spirituality and the Arts,” wh
 ich will focus on the writing process and developing a unique voice an
 d vision\n\nNewcomer, a Quaker and Indiana native, says, “I have a r
 eal fascination with the mystery, with the questions that have no answ
 ers.” She writes and sings of the small joys and pains in life, of b
 eauty discovered in the midst of the ordinary, of life experienced in 
 the spaces between darkness and light—all with a measure of good hum
 or and self awareness. For her, “songwriting is not about being clev
 er, flashy or fancy; it is about telling a compelling story in languag
 e and music with elegance and clarity.”\n\nIn addition to the keynot
 e address, the colloquium will offer workshops from published authors 
 including ESR Alumnus Brent Bill and ESR professor Susan Yanos. Topics
  offered include Getting to \"Yes\" with a Publisher, Writing True: Th
 e Soul's Creative Work, and Enlarging the One Way Conversation: Ways o
 f Connection with Your Reader. Lil Copan, Senior Editor with Paraclete
  Press, will be offering book proposal reviews for those who register 
 for her session in advance.\n\nThe cost for the Colloquium is $65 per 
 person, and includes breakfast, lunch and refreshments on the 16th. Un
 dergrad and graduate college students can attend for a reduced cost of
  $25.\n\nParticipants are encouraged to attend a special evening readi
 ng with the workshop presenters on Friday, October 15th beginning at 6
 :30 pm, and an open mic night after the colloquium on the 16th, where 
 participants can share readings from their own writing.\n\nThe Colloqu
 ium will be held in the ESR Center on the Earlham School of Religion c
 ampus, located at the corner of U.S. 40 West (Old National Road) and C
 ollege Avenue in Richmond.\n\nThis ministry of writing event was creat
 ed in honor of former ESR Dean Tom Mullen, who passed away on June 19,
  2009. The Ministry of Writing Colloquium is one way ESR demonstrates 
 its commitment to the written word as an important form of ministry.\n
