Bridging Divides Across Christians for the Flourishing of the City

Cherish: From Individualism to Intimacy

Over time, many marriages drift into something more like a shared life than a shared heart – two people managing schedules, responsibilities, and routines, but slowly becoming more independent than connected. The spark fades, conversations get practical, and intimacy – both emotional and physical – can feel distant or out of reach.

You’re invited to a morning with bestselling author and marriage teacher Gary Thomas as he invites couples into a different vision of marriage – one marked by deeper connection, renewed intimacy, and a shared pursuit of God. Drawing from his books Cherish, Sacred Marriage, and Sacred Pathways, Gary will offer practical, faith-rooted insights to help you move from simply coexisting to truly knowing and delighting in one another.

Theology Lab: Deliver Us From Evil, with Willie Jennings & Janette Ok

Session 1 of Theology Lab’s Deliver Us From Evil series looks at the foundational questions: What is evil? How do we identify evil and name it? Together, theologian Willie Jennings (Yale Divinity School) and biblical scholar Janette Ok (Fuller Seminary) help us explore these questions. Janette and Willie consider how evil and sin are conveyed in the Bible — and how that informs the way they see evil and suffering in the world around us and what faithful responses might look like. A practical question for this session involves what to do when you and another person don’t see eye to eye on what is (or isn’t) evil.

Leading Boldly in the Midst of a Community in Crisis

Join us for Vision New England’s Women in Christian Leadership “Leading Well” forum, featuring Rev. Gloria White-Hammond, entitled “Leading Boldly in the Midst of a Community in Crisis.”

Historians often discuss watershed moments—critical turning points in history that fundamentally change how people think about and do life. The past 1 ½ years has been a quintessential watershed moment in which many communities have experienced multiple painful crises simultaneously. Just as God raised up and equipped Esther to respond to the crisis in her day, God is calling today’s Christian women leaders to step up with conviction, step out on faith and step forward with courage.

Rev. Gloria White-Hammond, M.D. is co-pastor of Bethel AME Church in Boston and a pediatrician who long practiced at the South End Community Health Center. She also co-directs the Harvard Medical School and Harvard Divinity School course, “Medicine and Spirituality in Healing.” Rev. Gloria is a longtime champion of health equity and publicly speaks about COVID-19 vaccination as a pastor and a physician, especially in communities of color. Rev. Gloria’s innovative ministries include Do The Write Thing, a creative writing mentoring ministry for high-risk adolescent girls; My Sister’s Keeper,  www.mskeeper.org , a humanitarian and human rights organization that champions social justice for women and girls in conflict zones; and Shatter the Silence, a ministry that addresses sexual victimization in communities of faith.
