Creatio ex Amore and the Mission of the Church Now
The St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer announces an upcoming special event:
Creatio ex Amore and the Mission of the Church Now – An online seminar with Bishop Dr. Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Moderator of the World Council of Churches.
In this time of climate crisis, what difference does our faith make? How does our understanding of God, and the meaning of God’s creating work, ground and equip us to pray, serve, and act in this time? This seminar will deepen our capacity to preach and teach our claim that “God creates out of love,” and enliven us for working with our faith communities for God’s purposes.
Registrants may choose to explore advance readings, given below. They will also be invited to a follow-up conversation (on Saturday 25th January, 9-11am ET) hosted by the Rev. Dr. Kapya Kaoma, Rector of Christ Church, Waltham, author and theologian, expanding our grounding in this topic with wisdom from African Christian theology of creation.
This is an online only event, which will be hosted on Zoom. Full details, and the link to sign up to attend, can be found here: https://www.stpaulboston.org/bedford-strohm-event
