First Ever Academic Conference on U2

This just in from The Rev. Beth Maynard, expert on U2 and Theology, an author of the Get Up Off Your Knees sermon collection on U2:

[I want to] make sure you've heard about the first ever-academic conference on U2, being held in May 2009 in NYC. I'm on the planning committee and hope we'll get lots of interesting presentations; the various plenary speakers are promising.

The call for papers deadline is Nov. 1.
