A seminar led by N.T. Wright on the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism, discussing the larger questions of space, time and matter within which our understanding of sacraments must be located.

This day-long seminar looked at the sacraments of the church—the Lord's Supper and Baptism—discussing the larger questions of space, time and matter within which our understanding of sacraments must be located. Christians assume some view of these things which then "invisibly" colors their approach to the sacraments; we must get a biblical handle on the larger questions to appreciate the sacraments for what they are. This seminar was held at Calvin College on January 6, 2007.

Receptive Ecumenism in Neighborhoods, Soccer Fields, and Workplaces

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. When marked by both conviction and humility, these conversations have rich potential for building holy friendships and deepening our worship of God. Yet they can also backfire, perpetuating stereotypes and leaving us unsure about the point of common practices. Come to this session to learn from veteran participants in both formal ecumenical dialogues and informal neighborhood conversations about how we can engage with believers across the Protestant-Catholic divide in constructive and healing ways.
