Revival 2006 will be held in New York City at the Fourth Universalist  
Society, Nov. 2 through 5. One of the keynoters will be Jim Mulholland,  co-author

World." The other keynoter will be announced soon.
 
This year's Revival, full of diverse worship and workshops and small  group 
meetings and hospitality, will be held at an historic Universalist Church  
where Rev. Rosemary Bray McNatt is now minister. The church is located at 76th  
St. and Central Park West close to the Museum of Natural History and many other  
New York City attractions and public transportation and located in a 
beautiful  setting. See more on the church at its website at _www.4thu.org_ 
(http://www.4thu.org/) .
 
We are reducing the usual registration fee and providing a wide list of  
lodging options (from seminary lodging to bed and breakfasts and various hotels  
and other venues) to help as many people as possible to attend (these will be  
sent to those who inquire and upon registration). The full early registration  
fee for Thursday, Nov. 2 through Sun., Nov. 5 is $100 including a catered  
dinner. One day registration for either Friday or Saturday will be available for 
 $50. Full Registrations made after Oct. 2 will be $150.

Revival weekend in New York City is also the weekend of the New York  
Marathon so we encourage people to book their lodging as soon as possible. We  are 
also creating a Revival Schedule with New York City in mind, to provide more  
opportunities for free time. 
 
Biography of First Keynote Speaker: 
Jim Mulholland is the pastor of the Irvington Friends Meeting in  
Indianapolis, Indiana. He grew up Free Methodist, spent his teen years in a  house 
church, was baptized and ordained American Baptist, attended a Disciples  of Christ 
seminary, and served as an inner city United Methodist pastor for  twelve 
years. Ecumenical by experience, he has become universalist in theology.  His 
belief in the presence of God in all people has led to his involvement with  many 
social ministries with a special interest in helping men leaving prison. 

In the past ten years, he has become  nationally known as a theologian, 
writer and speaker. He has written Praying  Like Jesus, co-authored If Grace Is 
True and If God Is Love  with Philip Gulley, and contributed articles to several 
magazines. He is  presently working on a book – Living With Lepers - about his 
work with  child molesters. He is married and has five children.  
Here is the Revival Schedule.  Specific Workshops and more on Worship Leaders
