Dean's Forum TODAY !

Panel Discussion of Paul Galbreath's new book, Leading Into the World (Rowman & Littlefield, 2014)

Wednesday, 21 January 2015 at 4:10 pm
Lake Chapel, in the Early Center
Reception with refreshments starts at 3:30 pm

The Dean's Forum on Faculty Research is an annual opportunity to focus on an important recent publication by a member of the Union Seminary faculty.  Guest scholars are invited to help illuminate and analyze the book.

Prof. Galbreath's new work "helps reconnect our commitment to creation care with our life of discipleship. The process includes helping congregational members name ways that they are involved in caring for creation and encouraging them to see ways that these practices are related to Christian faith, and in doing so, nurturing the life of our communities while fostering our identity as those who care for the earth." 

The book has been described as "a clear and comprehensive guide for reorienting worship throughout the liturgical year in ways that are at once Earth-healing and community building."  For further details and reviews, click HERE.

Dr. Galbreath will discuss his work with a panel of three speakers : Dr. Craig Satterlee, former professor of homiletics at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago; Dr. Claudio Carvalhes, associate professor of preaching and worship at McCormick Theological Seminary; and Martha Moore-Keish, associate professor of theology at Columbia Seminary.

 

A reception with drinks and refreshments will take place beforehand in Rose Hall in the Early Center.  Students, alumni/ae and members of the public are warmly invited to this special event!
