From Austin Seminary: "Plan to attend MidWinter Lectures, January 22-24!"


Plan to attend MidWinter Lectures, January 22-24!

Now in its 80th year, Austin Seminary's MidWinter Lectures offer theological food for thought within the context of exploration, homecoming, and celebration.

The lecture series, which includes presentations, worship services, meals, and conversations, runs from Monday afternoon, January 22, until noon on Wednesday, January 24. Learn about the speakers and preacher who have been invited this year.

The Reverend Dr. Emilie M. Townes is a preeminent scholar in the field of womanist theology and ethics and a leader in theological thought and education.

The Reverend Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes will bring the full range of his enthusiasms and expertise to the lecture topic, "Two Ways of Being in the World: To Rise and To Land."

Dr. Cheryl Bear-Bartnerson is a theologian, singer-songwriter, and a founding member of the National Association of Indigenous Theological Studies.

Anchoring the lectures is worship in Shelton Chapel, led by The Reverend Dr. Chris Currie, senior pastor of St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church in New Orleans.

So, mark your calendar, book your transportation, and join us January 22-24, 2024!
