Every Christian community is called to introduce the Bible to new audiences: to children who are invited to open their Bibles for the first time and to seekers and new believers who are just learning their way around the Bible. We also are called to invite life-long believers to rediscover their first love for the Bible all over again, reintroducing the Bible in ways that overcome past approaches that may have missed key aspects of what the Bible offers us through the Spirit. We respond to this calling in many ways: in church education programs, in personal Bible reading programs, and in public worship. The session has engaged with educators and authors whose ministry has been focusing on the joy of this formative aspect of ministry.
A podcast from Calvin University featuring thoughtful leaders discussing key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of Christian life and witness.
Congregations, pastors, and parents/caregivers have many opportunities to join together in worship and prayer practices that more intentionally engage children and help them come to know and love God and grow in faith together. Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
What is the role of preaching in situations of deep conflict and division? How can preaching participate in the Christian call to peacemaking? This panel will explore the connections between gospel preaching and peacemaking efforts.

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology.
