Expect a Shroud of Turin Conference in St. Louis in 2014

It now seems fairly certain that there will be a Shroud of Turin conference in St Louis, Missouri, the fall of 2014. The likely venue will be the Drury Inn in Chesterfield, just west of the city. 

I fully expect that this conference will be open to the public with an admission fee, as has been the case for recent past conferences. I also imagine there will be a call for scientific and historical papers at some later date.

Give the matter some thought. Make suggestions and ask questions here.
