SUMMARY:Conversation @ Briarwood
DESCRIPTION:Briarwood Leadership Center is starting a new series of interactive online conversations to equip the church in this complicated time.

Smith\, Director\, Briarwood Leadership Center \nOur first conversation on Thursday\, June 11\, will focus on how we best have political conversations in times of crisis. We will explore topics like church/state relations and the concept of Civil Society.

SUMMARY:Conversations at Briarwood: Public Faith\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:How can politics be faithful? Christians in the United States are of many different minds. Sometimes\, church can feel hyper-partisan. Other church folk want to disengage from politics. Are there really only two sides to community issues\, and do we always have to disagree? How do faith and fear shape our response to the world as we seek to live in love as followers of Jesus? How can our participation in civic life be grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? \nAs the US approaches “Election Day” in the election season already underway\, these upcoming “Conversations at Briarwood” with prominent Evangelical leaders Hunter Baker and Shane Claiborne will help us explore these questions together. The divide between evangelical and mainline Christians in the US can sometimes seem like we’re the Republican and Democratic parties at prayer. How can we get beyond partisanship to the task of crafting new forms of public faith? \nConversations will be online\, using Zoom.

Anxiety increases tension\, understanding your role as leader in that anxiety\, owning that\, and processing it will make you a more effective leader. \nMary Ann Schwabe is a Deacon who serves as the Natural Systems Coordinator in the Office of the Presiding Bishop for the churchwide office in Chicago. \n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/94824486019?pwd=NnVwTUpIN3BKWmVHMTdRMzFvQzdtdz09 \nMeeting ID: 948 2448 6019\nPasscode: 918223 \nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,94824486019#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,918223# US (Houston)\n+16699006833\,\,94824486019#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,918223# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington D.C)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 948 2448 6019\nPasscode: 918223

SUMMARY:2021 Tri-Theological Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe 2021 Tri-Theological Conference with Professor Michael DeJonge \nCo-sponsored by the Southwestern Texas Synod\, Gulf Coast Synod\, Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod\, and Briarwood Leadership Center \nThis is an online event. \n  \n\nDietrich Bonhoeffer in conversation with his twin sister\, Sabine \n  \nBonhoeffer\, Struggle\, and Resistance\nMonday\, January 25\, 2–4pm (all times Central) \nThe life of Lutheran pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) is often interpreted through his participation in plots to assassinate Adolf Hitler. While his prayer and discernment led him to that point\, his call for direct resistance to unjust actions of the state began much earlier. This session will introduce Bonhoeffer\, his context\, and his increasing calls for resistance\, both within the church and in direct word and action against the state. \n  \nBonhoeffer the Lutheran\nTuesday\, January 26\, 10am–Noon \nBonhoeffer has become a broadly popular figure throughout western Christianity. His stance against Adolf Hitler\, the Third Reich\, and accommodating elements within German Christianity cost him his life. Studies of his life and thought\, however\, have not always taken into account the specificity of his Lutheran commitments. How\, for instance\, does Lutheranism inform Bonhoeffer’s approach to pacifism and violence? What can that teach Lutherans about our tradition today? \n  \nBonhoeffer’s Politics and Our Own\nTuesday\, January 26\, 2–4pm \nBonhoeffer is often referenced when people are seeking faithful responses to political crises. All sides of the US political spectrum have wondered if we are in a “Bonhoeffer moment.” Bonhoeffer’s historical\, political\, and cultural context was quite distinct from the early 21st-Century United States. In what ways can Bonhoeffer’s theological commitments help interpret political realities today? How can those insights inform faithful leadership and proclamation in the midst of current struggles? \n  \nCost: $75 ($50 early-bird special until December 18)\nRegistration closes at 10am Central on January 25\nREGISTER HERE. \nDownload a flyer here to share. \n  \n \nMichael P. DeJonge is Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at the University of South Florida. He researches the history of Christian thought and issues involving religion and politics. \nDeJonge has been a Fulbright Scholar\, a Fellow of the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies\, a Volkswagen/Mellon Fellow at the Leibniz-Institute for European History in Mainz\, Germany\, and Visiting Dietrich Bonhoeffer Professor of Theology and Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York. \nHis scholarship has focused on the twentieth-century German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer\, with monographs including Bonhoeffer’s Theological Formation (Oxford\, 2012)\, Bonhoeffer’s Reception of Luther (Oxford\, 2017)\, and Bonhoeffer on Resistance: The Word Against the Wheel (Oxford\, 2018). \n  \n \nEvent Structure \nThe conference organizers intend for this event to be directly relevant to your daily vocation and service in church and society. We are seeking to foster sustained\, engaged conversation in addition to providing important content in Prof. DeJonge’s presentations. \nEach of the conference’s scheduled sessions will include a breakout opportunity. In order to facilitate focused conversation\, our request is that you come to the breakout session with one overarching question and one significant quote from the text assigned for that session. \nFeel free to emphasize your personal responses and commitments as you engage the text. Our conversations will be enriched if you choose quotes that resonate with you and craft questions that are open-ended (questions that can’t be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”). \nLike you\, Bonhoeffer was a Christian leader deeply engaged with and challenged by his context. Your personal reflections on your life of service will carry us forward throughout our time together. \n  \nIntended Audience  \nThis gathering is open for all people interested in the overarching topic\, both lay and rostered. Our two-hour sessions will be structured to include a significant presentation from Prof. Michael DeJonge\, ample time for discussion in breakout sessions\, and time for sharing in plenary. Each session will have options for compact but in-depth reading intended to enrich conversation throughout the event. \n  \nRecommended Readings \nMichael P.
