The Practicing Congregation: Imagining a New Old Church |
|
|
Also based on a book of the same name, this workshop is geared toward mainline Protestant church leaders—both lay and ordained. In these events, we explore the changes that have had an impact on mainline churches and the ways in which vital congregations are responding to cultural change as a way of renewal. Within the larger topic, we look at the need for structural and spiritual change, issues of tradition (the definitions and uses of tradition in congregations), the practices that make for congregational renewal, and the larger setting of cultural, political, and social justice commitments in mainline congregations.
Diana has spoken on topics related to American religious history, religion and politics, and leadership. Specific themes may be requested.
