Lutherans Concerned - Los Angeles presents
the 2012 Marc Anton Reilly Lecture by Dr. R. Guy Erwin
A Word the World Needs:
Lutheran Theology for Today and Tomorrow
In an age of increasing polarization among Christian communities, and a growing gulf between the religiously committed and the entirely secular, is there room for a Christ-centered, historically-rooted but inclusive Christian theology that understands Jesus as God's response to a fearful humanity?
What can "being Christian" mean for Lutherans today in an increasingly complex world? How can Lutheran theology meet the challenge of a cultural reassessment of sexual norms, human relationships, and moral life-can the old wineskins still hold today's new wine?
Lundring Events Center California Lutheran University
60 West Olsen Road
Thousand Oaks, California 91360
Saturday, February 18, 2012
10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Regional Training Institutes Offered in 2012
Looking for a way to move your congregation from a paradigm of maintenance to one of mission, from membership to discipleship? "GO, BAPTIZE, MAKE DISCIPLES" is a new training institute for pastors, worship leaders, and educators (e.g. directors of spiritual formation) being offered in 2012 in Phoenix, Baltimore, and Minneapolis.
As congregations seek to find ways to train and equip believers to live a life of discipleship, the catechumenate-an ancient/future process of faith formation and baptismal living practiced by Christians for centuries-is being reclaimed by today's church. You are invited to bring a team from your congregation to explore this gift of the early church and how to introduce it to your faith community. A new congregational resource manual on the catechumenate soon to be published by Augsburg Fortress will be introduced and copies provided to all participants.
Choose from three beautiful locations:
Spirit in the Desert Conference Center in Carefree, AZ - Feb. 24-26
Bon Secours Spiritual Center near Balitmore, MD - April 13-15
The Oak Ridge Conference Hotel near Minneapolis, MN - May 18-20
Music at all three venues will be provided by Bread for the Journey, a well-known ELCA music group.
These three training institutes are offered by the North American Association for the Catechumenate (NAAC), an ecumenical organization serving mainline Protestant congregations in the US and Canada. It is made possible by a worship renewal grant from the Calvin Institute for Christian Worship with funds provided by the Lily Endowment Inc.
For more information, to download a brochure, and/or to register online please go to www.catechumenate.org. |
