Dear Ferdie,
First of all thank you so much for your excellent organisation of the conference. As I told you, I always had the impression that the whole process was very well organized and functioned without problems. Best regards

Ferdie,

Thanks to you, Jan, and Erik for hosting and organizing such a great conference! Conversing with international scholars outside my Old Testament field of expertise gave me important new persectives on the Gospel of John and New Testament ethics. Thanks again and take care.
