9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Turning the Church Inside-Out— Liminal Spaces Where Jesus is Found: A Workshop for Clergy & Lay Leaders

June 15, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 3:00 pm

The Rev. Dr. Ray Pickett has a proposition for the Church to consider: “These are challenging times that call [us] to mobilize the Church to be more engaged in [our] communities and in the struggle for justice.” What does it look like for congregations to work for God’s justice in the context of the communities in which we live, and move, and have our being?
Using a model for faith-based community organizing grounded in scripture, Dr. Pickett will invite participants to explore ways to discover Jesus in unlikely places, and have our hearts turned in life-giving and radical ways.
Dr. Pickett is the Rector (President) of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, CA, and has been a professor of New Testament for more than twenty years. He has also been deeply committed to faith-rooted community organizing, equipping individuals and communities of faith to take risks, collaborate with others, and act on our faith to make a difference in our communities.
Workshop is free, but pre-registration is required. Visit saintmarks.org/workshops to register.
