Summer Update! June 8, 2. The last few months have been exceptionally busy ones. I was traveling and lecturing throughout much of the Lenten season and had the misfortune to pick up a bug along the way, which put me in bed for two weeks and forced me, for the first time ever, to cancel one of my lectures (in Ottawa, Canada). Fortunately, my good friend John Iannone graciously took my place at the last minute. Of course, the Lenten season is also our busiest time of year and consequently, the backlog of materials that have accumulated since our last update in January is immense! Today's additions include the Program for the upcoming International Conference on the Shroud in Washington State, ten more issues of Rex Morgan's Shroud News, a Memorial for three departed Shroud scholars, a Special International Feature on the Polish Theological Society and their Syndonology Section, news about the upcoming 2.
Jalsa Salana Convention in England and a new addition to our Speakers Directory, along with links to many new books, articles, papers, videos and much more. There should be enough here to keep you busy reading until our Fall update! Shall we begin? Here is the Update Table of Contents: In Memoriam.
It is with deep sadness that I must report the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Gina Phillips Moran Glick, M. D. For those of you new to Shroud research, you might not know that Gina was an anesthesiologist with a strong interest in the medical and forensic science aspects of the Shroud and is the sister of noted Shroud scholar and optical engineer, Kevin Moran. Over the years Gina attended many Shroud conferences and was an active participant in the online Shroud Science Group.
A memorial service was held at Christus St Joseph Village on April 7, 2. Catholic Rite of Christian Burial was held the next day at Christus St. Joseph Village chapel. Interment was at Saints Peter Paul Catholic cemetery in Cumberland, Maryland.
Here is a link to an article in the Cumberland Times News titled . Gina's Story. Our sincerest condolences to Gina's family, friends and colleagues for their loss. In Memoriam. It is again with deep sadness that I must report the recent passing of noted British Shroud scholar Lennox Manton on February 1. Lennox was a long time member of the British Society for the Turin Shroud and contributed many articles and monographs to the publication.
Since I never knew Lennox personally, I am grateful to Emanuela Marinelli for providing us with a link to her Collegamento pro Sindone website News Page and Ian Wilson's fitting memorial titled, A tribute in honour of his longstanding services to the British Society for the Turin Shroud. We are reprinting it here as well. Our sincerest condolences to Lennox's family, friends and colleagues for their loss.
Thereafter he was a regular attendee whenever the Society hosted lectures in London, in later years making special train journeys from Stirling for this purpose. Although my wife Judith and I emigrated to Australia the following year (quite independently of the Rex Morgan connection!), Lennox regularly kept in touch with us throughout the two decades since. Throughout the decades that I have known Lennox I have felt privileged by his friendship.
Again, our thanks to Emanuela Marinelli and her Collegamento pro Sindone website for letting us know and publishing the below obituary. Again, our sincerest condolences to Mario's family, friends and colleagues.

Posted June 8, 2. The 5. 1st Annual Jalsa Salana Convention - July 2. On July 2. 8- 3. 0, 2.
I will once again be attending and speaking at the 5. Annual Jalsa Salana Convention sponsored by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Hampshire near Guildford in England. Romance Films Hearing Is Believing (2017).
For the last two years, The Review of Religions, the highly respected 1. Ahmadiyya Community, sponsored a large marquee (tent) at the convention that featured Pam Moon's Shroud of Turin Exhibition (which she regularly displays around the U.
K.), alongside a beautiful exhibit of ancient Qurans from the extraordinary collection of Quranic scholar Razwan Baig. Shroud scholars that attended the last two conventions included David Rolfe, Hugh Farey, Simon Brown and Pam Moon's wonderful exhibition volunteers, Brenda and Stuart Benton and Luigi Antoniaz.
And this year's event will be even bigger! Guest speakers this year will include Prof. Bruno Barberis, Past- President of the International Center for the Study of the Shroud in Turin, Italy, along with historian, linguist and noted Sudarium expert Dr. Mark Guscin from Spain and award- winning film producer and Shroud scholar David Rolfe from England. I am very pleased to see the Shroud not only becoming a regular part of the Jalsa Salana Convention and receiving a warm and gracious welcome from the entire Ahmadiyya Community, but also seeing the interest and participation of some of the world's top Shroud scholars, which is very encouraging.
I look forward to spending some time together with these good friends and will report on the event in a later update.
