| June 2nd, 2008 | Conversations with Diana Butler Bass 1-3pm at NW Christian Church 7-8:30pm at 1st Baptist Church |
A 'Conversation' time with Diana Butler Bass (author and expert on religion in American) about hope, and the capacity for the renewed practice of Christianity in 'mainline' congregations is being offered on June 2 in the Seattle area for both interested clergy and lay people. This Conversation is geared toward mainline church leaders, emerging church leaders and seminarians. It is sponsored by a coalition of churches and denominations including The Church of the Apostles, the Washington Association of Churches, the Northwest Washington Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), and The Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church (UMC). Diana will lead a conversation exploring 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 and how emerging church insights might be incorporated into traditional churches. Within the larger topic, we will look at the need for structural and spiritual change, the practices that make for congregational renewal, and the larger setting of cultural, political, and social justice commitments in congregations. Registration for this event can be done now online via the following links. United Methodist clergy and lay people are entitled to the special rate of $15 (50% off of the standard rate).
