The church鈥檚 place and voice are often disregarded in today鈥檚 society. Political disagreements, social ills and moral decay challenge the church to speak and act 鈥� but how can it do so effectively? That鈥檚 the focus of SA国际传媒鈥檚 33rd Annual Theological Symposium [1] 鈥淐hurch and Society: Living by Hope in a Secular Age,鈥� slated for Sept. 19-20 on campus. Registration [1] is now open.
This year鈥檚 plenaries and sectionals will explore how the Christian hope of a healed and new creation can better shape the church鈥檚 engagement and witness with culture and society.
鈥淭his year鈥檚 theme couldn鈥檛 be more timely, and we couldn鈥檛 be more excited about our speaker lineup,鈥� said Erika Bennett, director of Continuing Education. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 want to miss this 鈥� come join the conversation!鈥�
