The 25th Annual Bowen Conference: BEYOND THE SHEPHERD: RE-IMAGING GOD will be February 16-18, 2014 at the Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, NC. Traditional images of God range from a benevolent father, a harsh judge, or a dove.  While the Bible is full of images of God, church folks have paid attention to a narrow range of them.  So what if we imagined God as a carpenter or a mother hen?  Would our daily lives change? Lauren Winner, professor, Episcopal priest, and writer, will join this group to offer a fresh perspective and new voice to our conversations about how to live faithful lives as followers of Christ.  Drawing on contemporary novels, anthropologists' writings, and mystical musings, we will ask what it might mean to think of God as - say, a piece of clothing or a dance? For more on this event, please visit the Kanuga page....»
