"Creatio ex Amore and the Mission of the Church Now"

The St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer invites all to "Creatio ex Amore and the Mission of the Church Now"--an online seminar with Bishop Dr. Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Moderator of the World Council of Churches, on Saturday, Jan. 11, 9-11 a.m.

In this time of climate crisis, what difference does our faith make? How does our understanding of God, and the meaning of God's creating work, ground and equip us to pray, serve and act in this time? This seminar will deepen capacity to preach and teach our claim that "God creates out of love," and enliven us for working with our faith communities for God's purposes.

Registrants for the talk may choose to explore advance readings. They will also be invited to a follow-up conversation, hosted by the Rev. Dr. Kapya Kaoma, Rector of Christ Church, Waltham, author and theologian, expanding participants' grounding in this topic with wisdom from African Christian theology of creation.
