海角社区

Join us for a virtual summer series that centers the voices, vision, and vitality of the Black Church. Each week, we'll be in conversation with pastors, scholars, creatives, and community leaders who are doing the work, living the truth, and shaping the future.

On Tuesday, May 13, we will engage in conversation with Rev. Dr. Melanie Jones Quarles as we reflect on the topic Womanist Leadership in the Black Church. We will also learn more about the Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership at Union Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Rev. Dr. Melanie Jones Quarles is Assistant Professor of Ethics, Theology and Culture and Director of the Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership at Union Presbyterian Seminary.

This is more than a seminar—it's a gathering of faith, wisdom, and sacred dialogue. Whether you鈥檙e clergy, laity, alum, or just hungry for a space that feeds both soul and mind, you belong here.
Pull up to the screen. Tune into the truth. Engage the tradition.

海角社区 Professors Dr. Shannon Craigo-Snell and Dr. Amy Plantinga Pauw will preach a joint sermon reflecting on friendship as a sacred model of love—drawing from the story of David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18) and Jesus' call to his disciples in John 15.

We are honored to welcome Rev. Dr. LeSette M. Wright, Dean of the Chapel at Berea College, who will deliver the commencement address, drawing inspiration from Psalm 139:13-14 to bless and commission our graduates.

You're invited to join The Faithful Formation Project for a half day workshop with Rev. Margaret Alsup, M.Div., Chaplain of Lyon College, as we relearn and then reimagine the classic faith stage theory of James Fowler. Rev. Alsup will introduce us to a series of case studies which illustrate the faith stages of today's young people. If you are a pastor of an intergenerational church, a professional who works with children, youth, or families in any religious context, or a caregiver who desires to nurture the faith of a young person, this event is for you.

This immersive, in-person experience is designed for all LPTS students - whether you鈥檙e joining us on campus or learning remotely during the year - along with other LPTS constituents. The centerpiece is a 1-credit intensive course (Aug 26鈥�28) developed by our faculty to explore faith, justice, and identity in our current cultural moment. Join us for a week of embodied learning, shared meals, artistic reflection, fieldwork, and connection across all degree programs.

More details coming soon. We can't wait to welcome you to campus!
