The 6th Annual Conference
of the
World Congress of Ethnic Religions
The 2003 conference of the WCER is to take place in 7-8-9 of August , in
Vilnius. At the Academy of
Sciences Library, Zygimantu 1 / 8,
Vilnius, Lithuania
The theme of the Conference is “Traditional culture and religion”
A new council needs to be elected in 2003, making the term 4, rather
than 5 years, or perhaps even shorter. In order to recruit more active members
into the council, the WCER needs to be expanded. Therefore, the upcomming
conference will aim at inviting new members from around the world. This would
also provide for more varied presentations and more diverse points of view.

We invite you to prepare reports and articles to “The Oaks”. We
plan to publish the next issue of “the Oaks” at an earlier date, and thus we
would like you to send us these articles as soon as possible, so we may publish
them for all to read. Having these articles sooner will also help us engage in
more creative and more educated discussions at the conference.
The annual Romuva summer camp will take place right after
the WCER conference on August 11-17. You are invited to attend this camp as
well. It will take place in the Romuva village, 70 kilometers from Vilnius. You
will be treated to Baltic music, ritual and dance, and an opportunity to meet
common practitioners of Baltic religion. Transportation and accommodations will
be provided upon request.
For the conference itself , you need only to arrive in Vilnius. As you
will inform us about your time of arrival, we will take care to meet you, make
reservations at hotels, and transport you to the proper locations. Some
sightseeing and cultural activities will be planned.
Please inform me about your participation in the Conference
