SUMMARY:"Equip the Saints" Program for Black Preachers
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline is June 15! \nMassachusetts Council of Churches will serve Black clergy from across its network through cohorts of preacher-practitioners\, regular podcasts\, a “Preachers-in-Residence” program\, peer-to-peer support\, and an annual preaching symposium called “Sound the Trumpet in Zion.” They will prioritize Black preacher mental health and engage in a pilgrimage to the African Meeting House on Nantucket\, an icon of local resilient Black preaching. \nPURPOSE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur purpose in “Equip the Saints” is first and foremost support for Black clergy. From our design meeting\, Black clergy shared that they felt the despair and malaise of their congregation\, and their own impending sense of burnout through the multiple pandemics of the past three years. Everything we do in this program point towards increased vocational support. We believe this focus on support for Black clergy is just and appropriate\, given the systemic racism of our region and escalating white supremacist violence. Our overall objective also includes equipping all clergy to faithfully and biblically preach against the idolatry of white supremacy cloaked in Christianity and preach towards the unity of the body of Christ. \nPROCESS \nBlack clergy from across the Church in Massachusetts will be eligible to apply to join Cohorts of 20 preacher-practitioners per year over the course of five program years\, starting in June 2024. We will support and strengthen compelling preaching through regular podcasts\, annual clergy cohorts\, via “Preachers-in-Residence\,” and peer-to-peer support with an annual Preaching Symposium\, “Blow the Trumpet in Zion.” \nWe prioritize Black preacher mental health with two sessions of support from a preacher-social worker each year. We aim to cultivate and strengthen a fellowship of committed and confident preachers across Massachusetts. \nEach Cohort will begin their preaching formation journey together with a pilgrimage to the African Meeting House on Nantucket\, an icon of local resilient Black preaching that very few people other than wealthy white individuals have been able to visit. \nEach Cohort will engage in a rhythm of learning\, practice\, and reflection with Preachers-in-Residence. Preachers will then return to their congregation to practice their new skills or ideas. A second session returns to the Cohort for a reflection on their practice. In this way\, we build up both preaching resources and capacity in our network of preachers. The annual Preaching Symposium\, modeled off of CTS’s Mixed Methods Preaching Conference\, serves as a Church wide gathering to learn\, and grow in strength and solidarity. \nLearn More Here \nApply Here

SUMMARY:Evangelicalism\, Identity\, and Culture: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary’s Hamilton Dean’s Office: The evangelical church\, especially in North America\, has come to a serious time of self-reflection in the past few years. The clash with an increasingly secularized and polarized society is causing evangelicals to reflect deeply on their identity and how they interact with the culture. In the book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self\, Carl Trueman traces the evolution of cultural shifts from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century\, leading to an ultra-individualized and psychologized understanding of the self. We have invited Dr. Trueman to join us in considering the implications of his analysis for the evangelical identity and mission. Join us for a two-day conference with Dr. Trueman and leading evangelical authors and scholars as we explore how the church can engage with modern culture through Christ-centered apologetics and missions. \nAmong the discussions with guest and Gordon-Conwell faculty speakers\, author Collin Hansen will lead an exploration and analysis of the evangelical movement through the experiences of one of its foremost figures\, Gordon-Conwell alumnus the late-Timothy Keller\, as well as a reflection on evangelicalism in the West as part of global evangelicalism.

SUMMARY:2024 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
DESCRIPTION:The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an international initiative where Christians worldwide are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (John 17:21). Locally\, UniteBoston coordinates evening collaborative gatherings of fellowship\, prayer and worship from January 18-25 annually.\n\nThis year’s theme\, liturgies\, and prayer guides were developed together by Christian churches from Burkina Faso in western Africa. This year’s theme is based on the text from the Gospel of St Luke: “You shall love the Lord your God … and your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 10:27). In response to the question of who is my neighbor\, Jesus responds with a parable illustrating love extending far beyond the limits expected by the lawyer. It is not shared identities that should prompt us to come to the aid of the other\, but love of our ‘neighbor.’ Here in Boston\, it may be common to relate to one another like Samaritans and Jews\, divided culturally and theologically and living with unfriendly or hostile relationships. However\, Jesus points us to a different way: to engage with those on the “other side” and even understand the situations of one another so intricately that we can ‘pour oil or wine’ on one another’s wounds. Our times of insecurity and fear confront us with a reality where distrust and uncertainty come to the forefront of relationships. This is the challenge of the parable today: to whom am I a neighbour? \nMark Your Calendars – You are invited to mark your calendars and plan to attend the evening gatherings! In this time of Epiphany\, we encourage you to receive the manifestation of Jesus Christ through those of different denominations\, races and cultures. Let’s make the most of these opportunities in order to truly be the family of God and serve as the body of Christ in the world. Let’s also pray with our feet – express love to our neighbors as an act of prayer. \nCommunity Dinner Template – You can use this template for conversation and prayer along this theme with your church or community group! \nSpread the Word – We also appreciate help spreading the word to people in your congregation\, family\, friends\, and neighbors. A personal invitation goes a long way. Calling to mind our common commitment to ‘love thy neighbor\,’ may the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity\, January 18-25\, 2024 be full of moments of conversion of heart through our encounters\, so that “all may be one.” God of welcome\, grant us the grace to risk embracing the stranger\, tending their wounds and standing in solidarity with them. Strengthen our resolve to be kind and merciful and to act towards our sisters and brothers at all times as you do towards us. Lord Jesus\, who prayed that all might be one\, we pray to you for the unity of all Christians\, according to your will\, according to your means. May your Spirit enable us to experience the suffering caused by division\, to see our sin and to hope beyond all hope. Amen. \nSchedule \n\n\n\nLoving Our Unhoused Neighbors: HOME Thursday Night Outreach Thursday January 18\, 5:45 to 7:15pm with optional prep time beforehand and debrief afterwards | Park Street Church\, 1 Park Street\, Downtown Boston \n\n\n\n  Join to serve with Park Street Church’s HOME ministry\, where they welcome 60-100+ unhoused neighbors and other neighbors in need to fellowship meals hosted on Thursday evenings from 5:45-7:15pm and Saturday mornings from 8:30-11am.

SUMMARY:Dean's Forum: Small Town\, Big Gospel: Ministry in Small Places
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, November 28 for the final Dean’s Forum of 2023! \nFor decades now\, evangelicals have implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) privileged and prioritized ministry in big cities and suburbs. After all\, that’s where the action is\, that’s where to go in order to make your life count\, to influence influencers\, to shape culture. The Apostle Paul focused on cities. A small church in a no-name town doesn’t have the same cachet or importance. But for those of us who long to see God’s glory spread everywhere\, throughout the world\, it’s worth asking: is the case for privileging large-place ministry compelling? Is it possible to live a fruitful and significant life devoted to small-place ministry? If so\, how ought we to go about it? Small-town pastor and Gordon-Conwell adjunct faculty\, Dr. Stephen Witmer will address these questions in the forum. \nDr. Jason McConnell\, Gordon-Conwell adjunct faculty and pastor of Franklin United Church and East Franklin Union Church\, will give a response. \nThe Dean’s Forum discussion is free and is open to the public. RSVP is required by November 20 for those who are planning to attend in person. Lunch will be provided to those who will be attending in person. \nRegister here today!

SUMMARY:Boston Flourish 2023
DESCRIPTION:WHAT:  Gather with the dreamers and doers of our city to activate and partner towards a Boston where everyone flourishes. \nAt this gathering\, we will celebrate the many ways that God has been and is presently at work in the city and further this work by connecting together to strategically address issues facing Boston residents. \nThis year\, our key impact areas are human trafficking\, youth mental health\, and migrant care. Key organizations addressing these areas will present the current state of these realities\, the progress that is being made\, and how individuals can come alongside their efforts to see tangible change.  While it is only a one-day gathering\, it will generate working teams\, prototypes\, and collaborative potential for transforming our city\, a holistic movement that can be built on for years to come. \nWHY: Jeremiah 29:7 speaks of the need to seek the welfare and holistic flourishing of the city. Our city thrives when faith\, business\, and civic partners collaboratively address local issues rather than work on their own. Our goal is to see Boston Flourish – and we know that this is only possible if we work together. \nWHO: Business\, non-profit\, church\, and city leaders are all invited to take part in this gathering. This gathering is founded on Christian / holistic gospel values\, and we invite anyone who wants to join us in seeking the flourishing of the city. \nPlease join us and help to spread the word! \nFor more information\, visit www.bostonflourish.com. \nClick here to register for the conference \nClick here for sponsor letter & form

SUMMARY:Religious Leadership & Public Repair: A Conversation with Rob Schenck and Abigail Disney
DESCRIPTION:Join Hebrew College for “Religious Leadership & Public Repair”: A conversation with Rev. Rob Schenck\, an ordained evangelical minister and a progressive voice of dissent in his religious community and Abigail E. Disney\, Filmmaker/Philanthropist/Activist. \nThe conversation\, moderated by Rabbi Or Rose\, Director of Hebrew College’s Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership\, will include clips from Disney’s award-winning documentary\, The Armor of Light\, to explore Schenck’s evolution as a minister\, his relationship with Disney\, and their reflections on the need to forge relationships across divides. This will include discussion of lessons learned\, current projects\, and future possibilities. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. \nAbout the Film \nThe film captures Schenck’s journey of conscience\, as he began to question the consistency of the pro-gun and pro-life stances of the far-right evangelical movement that he represented at the time. This would eventually lead to Schenck’s break from evangelical orthodoxy on guns\, abortion\, and the public display of religious symbols. \nOur Speakers: \nReverend Dr. Rob Schenck spent nearly four decades as a controversial far-right national figure. The once prominent anti-abortion activist has since repudiated his radical conservative positions and has dedicated himself to promoting racial justice\, reducing gun violence\, and fostering religious inclusion. He is serving as a Hebrew College Visiting Faculty member for the 2023-2024 academic year\, working closely with the College’s Miller Center for Interreligious Leadership & Learning. \nAbigail E. Disney advocates for real changes to the way capitalism operates in today’s world. As a philanthropist and social activist\, she has worked with organizations supporting peacebuilding\, gender justice\, and systemic cultural change. She is a documentary filmmaker who won an Emmy for her film\, The Armor of Light. Her latest film\, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales\, which she co-directed with Kathleen Hughes\, made its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. The film screened in select theaters and is available on demand. In Season 4 of the podcast All Ears\, Abigail uses the film as a jumping-off point to ask big-thinking business leaders\, union organizers\, economists\, and others how they would fix our broken economy. \nRabbi Or Rose is the founding Director of the Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership of Hebrew College. Before assuming this position in 2016\, he worked in various administrative and teaching capacities at Hebrew College for over a decade\, including serving as a founding faculty member and Associate Dean of the Rabbinical School. Rabbi Rose was also one of the creators of CIRCLE\, The Center for Interreligious & Community Leadership Education\, cosponsored by Hebrew College and Andover Newton Theological School (2007-2017). \nEmail us with any questions\, and register here today!
