Congregations today seem beset by crises. Many of us are increasingly at a loss about how to address the growing challenges of our times. Among the often-neglected tools that Christianity provides in times of crisis is a solidarity that reaches deep into our communities and fuses the concerns of neighbors, God, and ourselves. New energy is produced in these relationships, inspiring us to address the crises and challenges of our times at all levels: religious, political, and economic.
This October 10-12, Asbury is excited to welcome Dr. Joerg Rieger, Distinguished Professor of Theology at Vanderbilt University, to lead a weekend of conversation and learning of how to get engaged in deep solidarity, and discover new roles for congregations in building more just communities ready to transform both church and our world.
We invite you to hear Dr. Rieger offer a keynote on Friday evening, followed by a series of workshops Saturday morning and afternoon on relational organizing, leadership and faith formation, and the future of economic, political, and religious democracy. Dr. Rieger will also preach in worship that Sunday!
