be necessary in running the website.
4. 2005 Conference. It was agreed that the 2005 conference should be held on 1-3 September. The likely venue is the University of Newcastle, where we hope that Luc Racaut will be our host. Details to be confirmed.
5. Publications. The most recent ERRG volume, Moderate Voices in the European Reformation, is now in press. After some discussion the meeting agreed to pursue two further possible volumes.
(a) A collection of essays on the theme of modes of argument in the Reformation period, considering rhetoric, the use of authority and public spaces. The likely editors for this project are Elaine Fulton, Helen Parish and Peter Webster.
(b) A collection of essays on Lutheranism in the period between Luther’s death and the Thirty Years’ War. Korey Maas is to take the lead in exploring possibilities for this project.
