Carlos Colón compartirá parte de su testimonio como refugiado de la guerra civil de su país de origen, El Salvador. En ésta sesión buscaremos una lectura Cristocéntrica de los Cánticos Graduales (Salmos 120-134). Caminaremos con la vista puesta en Jesús, recordando nuestro llamado a amar, compadecernos y a mostrar hospitalidad a aquellos diferentes a nosotros y nosotras; y compartiendo las buenas nuevas, mientras seguimos a un Salvador quien es lleno de gracia y verdad.
Listen to the English version of this workshop.
Carmen Imes has spent the past fifteen years immersed in the book of Exodus, writing about it for both her master’s thesis and her doctoral dissertation. In this lecture, Imes will share some of the most paradigm-shifting insights she’s had while reading Exodus through an Egyptian lens.
“Deconstruction” is a popular term among young people who grew up in the Christian church. In this public lecture, Robert Chao Romero will consider the challenge of widespread deconstruction while offering a hopeful path forward. Expanding on Phyllis Tickle’s analogy of the church having a rummage sale of ideas every few centuries, Romero invites us to consider the contributions of Latina/o theology and the history of the Brown Church as valuable resources for reconstruction on the other side of deconstruction.
Modern song writers are continually setting the psalms to new music for band-led worship contexts. Join Paul Ryan, Nate Glasper, and the Calvin University Worship Apprentices to sing contemporary psalm settings sung in public worship at Calvin.
