Scripture & Culture Seminar
The Renew Community and The Well are hosting the Scripture & Culture Seminar on Saturday October 24, 2009 from 10 am to 4 pm.
Theologian Karl Barth once said, “Christians should have their Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other.” This seminar was created on that premise – that the Church should be standing at the crossroads of faith and culture.
The one-day event which will be held at The Well (see pictures of the meeting space here) will feature two esteemed and nationally recognized missional thinkers.
I can’t tell you how excited I am for this event. In the morning, Dr. Darrell Guder (Dean of Academic Affairs at Princeton Theological Seminary and author of the seminal work The Missional Church) will help to answer the question: How do we read and interact with Scripture as communities of faith?
After lunch, Andy Crouch, author of the book Culture Making, will wrestle with the question: How do we read and interact with culture as communities of faith? (You can read more about Andy here).
This event is not just for pastors. This is for anyone – clergy or laity – who is interested in wrestling with the topic of how local churches can engage with their contexts more. And for those of who you are are planting churches or seriously considering being a church planter this seminar should be a priority for you to attend. More information about the seminar can be found here.
And the best part is that it only costs $15. Trust me: this event will be well worth your time. I’m already so excited about this day with these great thinkers.
