Advent Lectionary Workshop Featuring The Rev. John Thomas
Thursday, September 23, 2010 Download Flyer In the spirit of faithful study and worshipful work, Chicago Theological Seminary is pleased to host another Advent Workshop in preparation for the upcoming liturgical season of Advent. All are invited - ministers, church leaders, worship planning committee members, seminarians and persons interested in biblical study and theological conversations. Most preachers have struggled to present the rich theological themes of Advent while doling out enough Christmas carols to keep restive congregations at bay. What’s at stake in the annual battle for the soul of Advent? Is Advent worth the struggle? This workshop will include lecture and discussion, exploring Biblical texts, classical prayers, and hymns ancient and modern in order to stake out space for the wild prophets, strange visions, and powerful hopes that inhabit this purple season. The Rev. John Thomas is the Senior Advisor to the President and Visiting Professor in Church Ministries, having joined CTS after serving as the General Minister and President of the United Church of Christ for 10 years.
