Looking to reconnect? We’ve got two opportunities for you!
This Thursday (Oct. 9) join our first-ever “Refresh & Reconnect” zoom at 1pm central time (2 eastern, 11 Pacific) at this zoom link. Christina Bieber Lake will talk about the new work she’s doing to help people stay grounded in their true calling from God. One new project she’s working on is happening in a seminary, and could easily be a model for others to emulate! Then we’ll invite you to share what’s going on in your world. Let’s walk together!
And January 7-9 in Dallas we will be having our next faculty retreat, hosted by Dallas Theological Seminary. And we have an announcement to make!
Discounted hotel rooms are available for a limited time! We’ve secured the DTS discount rate at the Element Dallas Downtown East, which is just a block from the seminary. Rooms are $189, which is a great deal in downtown Dallas.
However, the rate is only good while availability lasts, so please get your room today! Take two minutes now and register for the retreat. As soon as you register, we’ll email you a link you can use to secure your room.
We and our schools are under more pressure than ever. It sometimes feels like it’s no longer possible for an academic institution to be a true learning community. And it also feels like it’s no longer possible for each of us to do all that is demanded of us, as our job responsibilities grow seemingly without limit!
We’re pulling together a “dream team” of leaders to help us think together about individual and community sustainability in the theological education:
- Kelly Kapic of Covenant College on learning how to respect the limits God created us to work within
- Donald Guthrie of TEDS and Nelson Morales of SETECA (Guatemala) on how community is formed and sustained in theological schools
- Darrell Bock, Jennifer Woodruff Tait and others (look for more announcements) on how seminaries that build community can be part of the solution to political and cultural polarization
There will be no fee to attend the retreat. If you cover your travel, we’ll provide the meals and all the rest – including, especially, the rest.
We’ll be meeting from dinner on Wednesday, January 7 until lunch on Friday, January 9.
Dinner on Wednesday and Thursday as well as lunch on Thursday and Friday will be provided.
Take two minutes now and register for the retreat. As soon as you register, we’ll email you a link you can use to secure your room at the discounted DTS rate.
We look forward to seeing you there!
