These events featured an international scholar who would give a short presentation followed by open conversation. The name Brot und Bier came from the refreshments which were very German, i.e., breads, meats, cheeses, and beer (and non-alcohol beverages). These were great fun. Unfortunately, my friend on the faculty who always secured the visiting international scholar has departed for Tulsa, OK. This presents an interesting problem: how do we proceed? Your thoughts?

This is too bad. If we had another scholar from Hungary, maybe we could have hosted a sampling of Hungarian wines. This evening on WVPR, I heard that Hungary is currently ranked 11th among wine exporting countries. The industry of exporting quality wines from Hungary grew up from nothing since the fall of the Soviet Union.

:lol:

The WVU Civil Engineering Department recently hired a faculty member from Belgium, but I doubt that anything he could talk about would be of interest to the normal Brot und Bier attendees.

Interlocutor, 3rd Degree Group: Admin Posts: 411 Member No.: 1 Joined: 4-February 06	Currently talking with Elliot Kennel about the idea of him being presenter at a future Brot und Bier. Elliot would likely speak on the relationship of Ethiopic Enoch to the Gospels and Judeo-Christian Apocalyptic scriptures. I'll be in Gettysburg this coming week. Is there anything people would like me to recruit from the seminary?
