​The Robert C. Stuart Lenten Series

New Creation! — The Ministry of Reconciliation

As we are reconciled to God through Christ, we too are called to the ministry of reconciliation, creating our relationships and society anew.

Exploring the concept of reconciliation through theology and the lens of self, family and nation, top scholars and thinkers will visit with us to help us explore how reconciliation leads to new creation and life. Each Sunday at 2:00, our speakers will give a lecture, have a conversation with Dean Thompson, and then at 3:00 you’re invited to a discussion space hosted by trained discussion facilitators to further engage the facet of the discussion that interests you most.

February 21: Creation as Gift

The series kicked off with a Robert C. Stuart Lenten Lecture Series all-time greatest hit: Miroslav Volf’s “Creation as Gift”

February 28: Reconciliation of Self with the Rev. Dr. Pittman McGehee
