In addition\, the symposium will feature an original dance performance in response to Knippers’ body of work as well as a participatory drum circle. The Knippers exhibit at Gordon-Conwell Seminary in Charlotte will include over two dozen works\, including several of his large-scale works that have never been displayed publicly. In keeping with the emphasis on embodiment and the importance of experiencing Knippers’ work\, in-person attendance is encouraged but there are virtual ticket options that provide access to the main sessions. \n“Disembodiment is not an option for the Christian.” This statement by visual artist Edward Knippers is a guiding principle in his work\, which features the human body\, often in connection with biblical scenes. Disembodiment is not an option for those who believe that human beings are created in God’s image with beautiful bodies\, that everything from sin to salvation are embodied experiences\, and that God’s redemption comes through the broken and risen body of Jesus.The paintings of Edward Knippers invite us to consider the goodness\, brokenness\, mystery\, and glory of embodiment\, urging us to grapple with the temptation to avoid\, sexualize\, downplay\, or disparage bodies along with a fully embodied faith. \nThis theology and arts symposium is sponsored by the Leighton Ford Initiative in Theology\, the Arts\, and Gospel Witness at Gordon-Conwell Seminary. \nRegister to attend in-person or online \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ed Knippers\n Edward Knippers is a visual artist who has been a fellow at S. W. Hayter’s Atelier 17 in Paris and was a student in Zao Wou-ki’s painting studio at Oskar Kokoschcka’s School of Vision in Salzburg\, Austria. He also was awarded the Prize of Salzburg in printmaking under Otto Eglau. Knippers understood his serious study of the human figure beginning at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later at the Académie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris. He holds a Master of fine Arts from the University of Tennessee where he studied under Walter H. Stevens and The Knoxville Seven. His work has been displayed in museums\, galleries\, and private collections all around the world\, and at the center of that work is the human body. \n(Image: Catherine Prescott\, The Artist\, Edward Knippers\, Oil on panel\, 12 x 9″\, 2022\, Private Collection) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Steve Prince\nDirector of Engagement and Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at William and Mary University \nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, and currently resides in Williamsburg\, Virginia.

David uses an experiential education model that allows participants with a range of experiences from no musical experience to advanced musical skills to come together and create music as a group. Rhythm events are used for community and team building\, promoting health and emotional wellbeing\, and for groups to express their spirit through the joy of communal music making. Facilitated rhythm events are recreational rhythm activities tailored for specific populations with a specific goal. David augments clinical activities with psycho-educational activities and curriculums. David has facilitated rhythm events for at-risk youths\, recovery programs\, multiple sclerosis support groups\, cancer support groups for survivors and caregivers\, corporate retreats\, grief groups and worship services. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Olaniyi Zainabu\nChange coach\, diversity consultant\, and drum circle facilitator \nOlaniyi has been an integral part of the drumming community since February 2018. After her exposure to the healing aspects of grief through the drum rhythms\, she eventually became a co-facilitator along with David Drum. This led to becoming a part of DrumStrong\, The Drum Circle Facilitators Guild\, and co-facilitating in various other community events and support classes. Participants range from those in grief support\, cancer support groups for survivors and caregivers\, foster care children and mentors\, client celebrations for those re-entering society after incarceration\, and cultural events. Olaniyi brings a passion for “Cultivated Communication\,” a term she created as a technique to promote the healing in the mind\, soul\, body\, and spirit while participating in a rhythm activity.

This year the theme is “Being Productive – Working from Rest\,” and the retreat will take place in Cambridge\, England on April 26-27\, 2024. \nThe Bible puts rest at the center of the Gospel. It presents rest as the reason why the gospel is good news. It shows that\, at the heart of God’s offer of salvation in and through Jesus Christ\, is the offer of deep rest. As we find true rest in Christ\, we are released from our fears to realize our true potential in all spheres of life. \nExpect to hear and heed the call to rest in God in ways you have not yet imagined.

In her compassionate and deeply personal book\, The Matter of Little Losses\, author Rachel Marie Kang explores loss through a framework of poetry\, poignant storytelling\, and reflective explorations on art and faith. Join us for a soulful\, soothing evening as we ponder the invitation to tend to grief through beauty and art.

A mixed woman of African American\, Native American (Ramapough Lenape Nation)\, Irish\, and Dutch descent\, she holds a degree in English with Creative Writing\, and a minor in Bible. She is founder of The Fallow House and her writing has been featured in Christianity Today\, Ekstasis\, Proverbs 31 Ministries\, She Reads Truth\, and (in)courage.

But the things that matter most in the lives of those we serve require small\, mostly overlooked graces over a longer period of time. Pastoring and preaching are best when seen as acts of love and wonder hovering within the ordinary lives of particular people. This means we also need wisdom. When competing cultural questions\, political voices\, and individual doubts rise\, it can feel more difficult to know which voices belong with Jesus\, and how to wisely help others hear his voice and biblically follow him. In these conversations\, Dr. Zack Eswine will spur you on to taste the goodness of wiser loves and skills for your life and ministry. \nSchedule\n9:45-10:45 a.m. Plenary Session I: The Imperfect Preacher\n12:00-1:30 p.m. Dean’s Forum: Locating Jesus in our Political Moment (lunch included)\n1:45-3:00 p.m. Plenary Session II: The Imperfect Pastor \nRegister by April 1 \nMany of our events are recorded (with speakers permission) and photographs may be taken for publicity purposes and promotion on social media.

Dr. Zack Eswine (PhD) serves as Lead Pastor of Riverside Church in Webster Groves\, Missouri.

For some people of faith\, abstract art is difficult to engage because the meaning remains unclear\, and the form can appear chaotic or uncompelling. For others\, abstract art is an invitation to engage the whole person\, contemplate spiritual realities\, and encounter God in transformative ways. If abstract art can facilitate the latter\, then Christians have a unique opportunity to learn and care about abstract art for theological\, practical\, missional\, and relational reasons. This event is a unique opportunity to experience abstract art\, learn about abstract art\, and have formative interaction with one another on this topic. \nThe evening begins with a gallery opening and reception to enjoy the visual art of Alfred Manessier and other art on display at the Charlotte campus of Gordon-Conwell. We will then hear and learn from two leading scholars in theology and the arts\, Dr. Elissa Yukiko Weichbrodt and Dr. Jonathan Anderson. Following these lectures there will be a facilitated Q&A session and ample time for open interaction. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About The Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Dr. Elissa Yukiko Weichbrodt\n Dr. Weichbrodt is associate professor of art and art history and a Little Endowed Scholar at Covenant College (Georgia). She studies how we are formed by images\, and her writing and teaching focus on representations of race and gender in nineteenth and twentieth-century art. Her first book\, Redeeming Vision: A Christian Guide to Looking at and Learning from Art\, is a practical introduction to engaging art with generosity and grace. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Dr. Jonathan Anderson\n Dr. Anderson is the Eugene and Jan Peterson associate professor of theology and the arts at Regent College (Vancouver). His scholarship explores the interrelations of art history\, theology\, and religious studies\, with a focus on modern and contemporary art. He is the coauthor of Modern Art and the Life of a Culture: The Religious Impulses of Modernism. With both an MFA and PhD in theology & religious studies\, he is trained as an artist\, art critic\, and theologian. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday\, February 22\, 2024\n\n6:30–7:15 p.m. | Gallery opening and dessert reception\n7:15–8:30 p.m. | Lectures and Q&A session\n8:30–9:00 p.m. | Open interaction\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  Location\nThis event will be hosted at Gordon-Conwell–Charlotte (see map below) and online. \nThe Manessier exhibit\, featured at the event\, is on display at Gordon-Conwell—Charlotte now through April 30\, 2024.

The clash with an increasingly secularized and polarized society is causing evangelicals to reflect deeply on their identity and how they interact with the culture. In the book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self\, Carl Trueman traces the evolution of cultural shifts from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century\, leading to an ultra-individualized and psychologized understanding of the self. We have invited Dr. Trueman to join us in considering the implications of his analysis for the evangelical identity and mission. Join us for a two-day conference with Dr. Trueman and leading evangelical authors and scholars as we explore how the church can engage with modern culture through Christ-centered apologetics and missions. \nAmong the discussions\, author Collin Hansen will lead an exploration and analysis of the evangelical movement through the experiences of one of its foremost figures\, Gordon-Conwell alumnus the late-Timothy Keller\, as well as a reflection on evangelicalism in the West as part of global evangelicalism. \nRegister Today \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About The Speakers\nHear from leading evangelical scholars and authors. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Carl R.

After all\, that’s where the action is\, that’s where to go in order to make your life count\, to influence influencers\, to shape culture. The Apostle Paul focused on cities. A small church in a no-name town doesn’t have the same cachet or importance. But for those of us who long to see God’s glory spread everywhere\, throughout the world\, it’s worth asking: is the case for privileging large-place ministry compelling? Is it possible to live a fruitful and significant life devoted to small-place ministry? If so\, how ought we to go about it? Small-town pastor and Gordon-Conwell adjunct faculty\, Dr. Stephen Witmer will address these questions in the forum. \nDr. Jason McConnell\, Gordon-Conwell adjunct faculty and pastor of Franklin United Church and East Franklin Union Church\, will give a response. \nThe Dean’s Forum discussion is free and is open to the public. RSVP is required for those who are planning to attend in person. Lunch will be provided to those who will be attending in person. \nREGISTER FOR FREE \nDean’s Forums exist to explore topics of church\, culture\, and theology.

Ours is a time that thinks far more about what makes us different from each other than what binds us together. Our disagreements run deep\, and by most accounts are getting worse rather than better. How did we get here? How should the church think about diversity in and with the Biblical claim about the unity-in-diversity of the created order and its reflections in the life of the church? What differences make a difference and what exactly is the relation between unity and difference? These are some of the questions to be addressed in the forum by speaker\, Dr. Richard Lints\, Senior Distinguished Professor of Theology. \nDr. Adonis Vidu\, Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Theology\, will give a response. \nThe Dean’s Forum discussion is free and is open to the public. Registration is only required for those who are planning to attend in person. Lunch will be provided to those who RSVP to attend in person. \nRegister for Free \nDean’s Forums exist to explore topics of church\, culture\, and theology.

While Charlotte is Leighton’s home\, his journey has taken him to many other places where the veil between heaven and earth is thin and God’s presence is palpable. \nFor the last thirty years\, Leighton has been capturing these thin places on canvas\, mostly in watercolor\, which according to Leighton “teaches me to give up control and look for surprises.” Although he did not begin painting until later in life\, Leighton discovered a passion for artmaking alongside a fresh calling to mentor younger leaders and to embrace his role as an “artist of the soul.” \nPlaces Along the Way features dozens of Leighton’s watercolors and celebrates his legacy as an artist\, mentor\, and leader\, including his role as a long-time board member of Gordon-Conwell. The program will include an interview with Leighton\, readings from his forthcoming book of poetry\, reflections from a few artists and leaders who have journeyed with Leighton along the way\, and an opportunity to learn about the emerging Leighton Ford Center for Theology\, the Arts\, and Gospel Witness. \nThis event is free\, but advance registration is required. \n \n Register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Leighton Ford\n Dr. Leighton Ford is an author\, leader\, mentor\, and preacher\, having served as Associate Evangelist and Vice President of the Billy Graham Association\, Chairman of the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization\, and the founder of Leighton Ford Ministries.

What makes this crisis of identity especially tragic is that there used to be such clarity about the pastoral calling. For centuries\, the church held out a clear and compelling vision of what a pastor is and what a pastor does. In short\, a pastor is a theologian. In this presentation\, Dr. Joel Lawrence\, Executive Director of the Center for Pastor Theologians\, will explore what it means to be a pastor theologian for today’s church. \nDr. Gordon Isaac\, Berkshire Professor of Church History and Advent Christian Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary\, will give a response. \nThe Dean’s Forum discussion is free and is open to the public. RSVP is required for those who are planning to attend in person. NO RSVP NEEDED IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH ONLINE. Lunch will be provided to those who will be attending in person. \nRSVP URL:https://www.gordonconwell.edu/event/deans-forum-the-pastor-theologian-resurrecting-an-ancient-vision/ LOCATION:Hamilton Campus: Alumni Hall\, 130 Essex St.\, South Hamilton\, MA\, 01982\, United States CATEGORIES:Admissions Events,Community Life,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.gordonconwell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/2023-Apr-Deans-Forum-2.jpg GEO:42.606693;-70.8427794 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hamilton Campus: Alumni Hall 130 Essex St. South Hamilton MA 01982 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=130 Essex St.:geo:-70.8427794,42.606693 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230405T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230405T193000 DTSTAMP:20230405T203002Z CREATED:20230403T191403Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230405T203002Z UID:10004503-1680719400-1680723000@www.gordonconwell.edu SUMMARY:Shepherding Diversity in the Workplace DESCRIPTION:Join us in dialogue as we hear from a seasoned corporate executive on what global diversity can look like from a Christian perspective. Given the complexities of corporate culture\, it is more important than ever for values-driven leaders to be effective\, to keep listening\, learning\, and doing more! \nWe are thrilled to have our inaugural Joanna Mockler Leadership Awardee Kristin Colber-Baker share her experience leading the creation of board-approved strategy to build global diversity capability for 135\,000+ employees across 70+ countries: “When faced with strategic choices\, leaders must make tradeoffs between positively impacting human capital or optimizing financial capital.
