风暴中的中心:公共神学系列

The 神学院’s 2022–23 public 神学 series focuses on being centered in Christ—not as an escape from the needs of the world, but as a necessary means to the transformative work of the church in the world.

神学院 faculty from each disciplinary field will facilitate dialogue in reflection on Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28–30: “Are you tired? 疲惫不堪? 烧坏了…? 来找我吧. 跟我走,你就能恢复你的生活. 我来告诉你如何真正地休息. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. 学习优雅的自然节奏. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” (The Message). We invite you to join us as we seek Christ’s unforced rhythms of grace. All lectures are free and open to the public but registration is required.
