The Church, the Pastor, and Resonance in an Accelerated Age: Theological Conversations with Hartmut Rosa
A great cultural shift seems to be happening to Protestant congregational life and pastoral identity. But recognizing what is actually changing can be difficult to name, and misdiagnosing the challenges we face can happen easily. On September 23 and 24, join us in a unique conversation between internationally-recognized practical and constructive theologians and renowned sociologist Hartmut Rosa. Rosa is considered one of most important big-idea sociologists in the world. During the conference, participants are invited into a conversation with Rosa about the future of congregational life and pastoral identity through critical theological engagement with his ideas and their implications for ministry in the present. We believe this event will inspire all those who care about the future of the church by clarifying the challenge before us and directing our attention toward the ways God is leading in the here and now. Speakers are: Hartmut Rosa, Gerardo Martí, Miroslav Volf, Andrew Root, Rahel Siebald, John Swinton, Claudia Welz, and Philip Ziegler.
