Joy and Lament: Statement from Queer Clergy Caucus
The Northern Illinois Queer Clergy Caucus celebrate the gains made at General Conference and call United Methodists to an affirming, not just neutral, stance.
Location: Pentecost Room on the 11th floor, Evangelical Lutheran Center (8765 W. Higgins Road, Chicago)
Spend a day with author Paul Nixon exploring ideas from his books "Weird Church" and "Multi". Paul passionately believes that God has a better story in mind for 21st-century congregations than simply struggling for sustainability and longing for twenty years ago.
What does it take for a church to thrive in the current cultural conditions? There will be time for processing and questions in addition to Paul’s teaching and guidance toward the next steps that your church can take immediately.
Bishop Sally Dyck will also share her thoughts on “Navigating Uncharted Waters” in our ministry together.
Date: Wednesday, October 17, 2018, from 9:30 to 3:30 pm
Location: Pentecost Room on the 11th floor, Evangelical Lutheran Center (8765 W. Higgins Road, Chicago)
Cost: $30, includes lunch & program
