SUMMARY:Northey Lecture: Rejecting Eurocentric Christianity: Embracing Hopelessness
DESCRIPTION:Rejecting Eurocentric Christianity: Embracing Hopelessness \nNorthey Lecturer: Dr Miguel de la Torre \nDate: 12 September 2024 \nTime: 6:30 pm \nVenue: Pilgrim Theological College\, 29 College Crescent\, Parkville\, 3052 and online \nMany living on the margins of colonial/missionary ventures have uncritically accepted eurocentric Christianity\, a faith ideology which legitimizes and normalizes the current global economic hegemony. For any theological perspective to be liberative\, it must first reject the very faith tradition which masks and justifies this worldview which fails to critically analyze the link between bowing one’s knees to the eurocentric Jesus and the eurocentric power arrangements. By rejecting a theology of hope\, and instead embracing a theology of hopelessness\, a liberative ethical methodology of resistance can be developed. \nDr. Miguel A. De La Torre – Cuban\, international scholar\, documentarian\, novelist\, academic author\, and scholar activist\, serves as Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver\, CO\, USA. Dr. De La Torre’s academic pursuit is social ethics within contemporary U.S. thought\, specifically how religion affects race\, class\, and gender oppression. He has published forty-five books\, six of which have won national awards and over a hundred articles. His most recent book Resisting Apartheid America: Living the Badass Gospel (Eerdmans\, 2023) is the conclusion to the trilogy comprised of Burying White Privilege: Resurrecting a Badass Christianity (Eerdmans\, 2018)\, and Decolonizing Christianity: Becoming Badass Believers (Eerdmans\, 2021). As a Fulbright scholar\, he has taught in several parts of the world. He is the co-founder of the Society of Race\, Ethnicity\, and Religion and was its executive director from 2013-2017.  He is also the founding editor of the Journal of Race\, Ethnicity\, and Religion. Among his many achievements are the most recent awards – the American Academy of Religion awards for “Excellence in Teaching” in 2020\, and the “Martin E. Marty Public Understanding of Religion Award\,” in 2021. De La Toree is also the screenwriter of Trails of Hope and Terror – a documentary on immigration\, which has screened in over eighteen film festivals winning over seven awards.

SUMMARY:Northey Lecture: Amy Plantinga Pauw
DESCRIPTION:The past Northey Lecture was delivered by Professor Amy Plantinga Pauw speaking on Church in Ordinary Time: A Wisdom Ecclesiology. \nAbstract: The doctrine of creation has been missing in most theological accounts of the church. That has made it harder for Christians to make common cause with others in a religiously pluralistic world and to address the ecological threat we all face as creatures. This lecture will outline a wisdom ecclesiology that takes the doctrine of creation seriously in thinking about the church. \nAmy Plantinga Pauw is the Henry P. Mobley Professor of Doctrinal Theology at Louisville Presbyterian Seminary in Louisville\, Kentucky\, USA \n

SUMMARY:Winter Intensive: Church: Gods Polycentric Experimental Community
DESCRIPTION:Five Day Intensive\nRev Assoc Prof Geoff Thompson\, Rev Prof John Flett & Prof Amy Platinga Pauw \nThis unit explores the roots of the Christian community in the messianic ministry of the crucified and risen Jesus Christ and the sending of the Spirit. It highlights the diverse embodiments of the church found in the New Testament and presents them as evidence of the ferment and de facto experimentation which characterised the formation and self-understandings of early Christianity. The ecclesiologies built around the classic marks of the church will be surveyed\, but this survey will demonstrate that such ecclesiologies often obscure the experimentation which properly belongs to reflections on the Christian community. The Reformation’s disruption of the Western church\, the modern missionary and ecumenical movements\, the emergence of the ‘global church\,’ and ecclesiastical scandals and corruption all provide the background to the contemporary recognition of ecclesiological ferment and recent discussions about the polycentricity of Christianity. This ferment will be framed Christologically and pneumatologically in ways that provide theological foundations for experimental reflection on the church’s mission\, structures\, and sacramental practices. The unit will include some focus on the relevance of these issues to the vocation of the Uniting Church in Australia. \n  \n  \nDELIVERY NOTES This intensive will extend over five days straddling the third weekend of July (with a rest day on the Sunday). The unit will include an evening public lecture to be delivered by Prof Amy Plantinga Pauw on July 18th\, 7:30 pm at Brunswick Uniting Church\, 214 Sydney Road\, Brunswick. Online support will be provided between the conclusion of the intensive and the conclusion of the assessment tasks. \nPREREQUISITES CT100P \n  \nTo see more details about our Winter Intensives for 2024\, click here. \n  \nLearning Outcomes and Assessment Details\nUndergraduate (CT2011P) \n\nArticulate the key critical issues in theological debates about the nature\, purposes and practices of Christianity communities.\nExplain the emergence of Christian Communities as the consequence of Jesus’ messianic ministry.\nDescribe the diversity of the ecclesiologies indicated in the New Testament\nExplain the significance of the Reformation\, the modern ecumenical movement\, and the polycentric ‘global church’ for contemporary discussions of ministry and mission.\nIntegrate the themes of polycentricity and experimentation into an understanding of the church’s witness in contemporary Australia\, with particular reference to the vocation of the Uniting Church in Australia\n\nAssessment \nTask 1 – Learning Resource – Study Guide for a Local Community of Faith \nA Study Guide which introduces the diverse ecclesiologies of the New Testament intended for use in a local community of faith.

SUMMARY:Winter Intensive: The Nurture and Spiritual Guidance of Children
DESCRIPTION:Five Day Intensive\nElizabeth Waldron-Anstice \nContemporary cultures may idealise\, sentimentalise\, dramatise\, catastrophise and marginalise children\, but in what ways do we spiritualise children? How do we speak of children’s spirituality\, and how may we form and inhabit communities that enable the spiritual lives of children to thrive and contribute? This unit calls and resources participants to explore historical\, trans-cultural and contemporary issues in the spiritual life and the spiritual development of children\, cognizant of this complex ethical and economic global landscape. It examines links between Scripture\, theological thought\, spiritual and psychological development\, and ministry with children. The unit seeks to develop greater awareness and sensitivity to the spiritual lives of children in theological reflection\, informing ministry practices of protection and respect in pastoral care and faith formation\, and attend to the often neglected childhood spiritual experiences of the adult practitioner theologian which underlie pastoral and ministry responses to children. \n\n\n\n\n\nDELIVERY NOTES This unit provides immersive multi-sensory learning\, meeting face to face at the CTM (or online synchronously by prior arrangement)\, Parkville from 9am-5pm each day of the intensive.

SUMMARY:Theology on Tap with John Flett
DESCRIPTION:Professor John Flett will be speaking at Theology on Tap in Carlton on Monday 13th May. John is the Professor of Intercultural Theology and Missiology at Pilgrim Theological College and will be talking about “why intercultural theology is the only future theology”. \nJohn holds a PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary where he undertook a ground-breaking examination of the history and theology of missio Dei\, later  published as The Witness of God (Eerdmans\, 2010). His Habilitationschrift\, undertaken at the Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal\, developed a critical account the church’s apostolicity\, understanding the embodiment of the faith in cultural difference as fundamental to the continuity of the faith through time. This appeared as Apostolicity: The Ecumenical Question in World Christian Perspective (IVP Academic\, 2016) and was recognised as one of the IBMR’s Ten Outstanding Books in Mission Studies\, World Christianity\, and Intercultural Theology of 2016. His most recent work (2020) with Henning Wrogemann\, titled Questions of Context: Reading a Century of German Mission Theology\, examined the range of ideas that underly the theories of contextualisation and the related consequences for local embodiments of the faith. \nTheology on Tap is an informal gathering for anyone who likes to discuss theology and related topics. It is organised by The Wesley Centre for Theology\, Ethics\, and Public Policy. \n7pm\, Monday 13th May at the Clyde Hotel in Carlton. \nAll are welcome\, but please RSVP through the event page on Facebook.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Reading the Bible in Australia
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the launch of Reading the Bible in Australia edited by Deborah Storie\, Barbara Deutschmann\, and Michelle Eastwood.  Robyn Whitaker\, Associate Professor of New Testament at Pilgrim\, will launch the book. She will be joined by Naomi Wolfe\, Rev Dr Graham Cole and Dr Jonathan Cornford who will be part of a panel discussing the book and its implications for reading the Bible in Australia. \nReading the Bible in Australia is a collection of essays that invite reflection about how the Bible matters to Australia. Contributors probe intersections between vital debates about Australian identity (who we have been\, are\, and aspire to become) and the Bible\, bringing a range of perspectives to critical themes–indigeneity\, colonization\, and migration; landscape\, biodiversity\, and climate; gender and marginality; economics\, ideology\, and rhetoric. Each chapter explores the past and present influence of a biblical text or theme. Some offer fresh contextually and ethically informed readings. All interrogate the wider outcomes of reading the Bible in different ways. Given the tragic consequences of how it has been used historically\, and sometimes still is\, some Australians would exclude the Bible and its interpreters from public debate. Yet\, as Meredith Lake’s The Bible in Australia demonstrates\, “a degree of biblical literacy–along with critical skill in evaluating how the Bible has been taken up and interpreted in our history–can only help Australians grapple well with the choices Australia faces.” Love it or hate it\, there is no getting around the reality that the Bible\, and how it is read\, still matters. \n5.30pm on Thursday 2nd May \nYuma Auditorium\, Centre for Theology and Ministry\, 29 College Crescent\, Parkville. \nPlease RSVP by Friday 26 April through the link – https://events.humanitix.com/reading-the-bible-in-australia-book-launch

SUMMARY:Northey Lecture: Bearing Witness – an approach to Christian-Muslim Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first lecture in the 2024 Northey Lecture series\, co-hosted with Trinity College Theological School as the Hughes-Cheong public lecture\, to be presented by Dr Joshua Ralston\, Reader in Christian-Muslim Relations at the School of Divinity\, University of Edinburgh and visiting scholar at Trinity College Theological School. \n\nBearing Witness: An Approach to Christian-Muslim Dialogue discusses how two assumptions dominate approaches to Christian-Muslim theological dialogue. First\, theological differences over God\, Jesus\, and Muhammad are viewed as the main problem facing Christian-Muslim relations. Based on this claim\, the chief aim of interfaith dialogue becomes addressing the problem of difference through seeking out areas of commonality and theological consensus. This paper challenges both assumptions by presenting a vision of Christian theological engagement with Islamic thought where the primary aim is not agreement\, but mutual learning through non-apologetic witness\, honest contestation\, and theological clarification. The profound questions that Islamic thought present to Christian theology about God\, the Qur’an\, and Jesus Christ are not viewed as a threat\, but as an opportunity for fresh theological reflection on what it means to bear witness to the God who speaks. \nParking is not available on College grounds.  \n\n\nDate: Thursday 21 March 2024 \nTime: 7 – 9pm (Refreshments will be served in the Bernardo Family Atrium after the lecture). \nVenue: Craig Auditorium\, Gateway Building\, Trinity College\, 100 Royal Parade\, Parkville VIC 3052 \nRSVP: By 5pm\, Thursday 14 March 2024 \nTickets: Free\, but bookings essential. Book at TryBooking \nEnquiries: Briony O’Halloran | events@trinity.unimelb.edu.au | 03 8341 0216
