Office of Theology and Worship Announces Consultations on the Doctrine of the Trinity

The consultations are over.  For one scholarly reflection from a feminist perspective, click here.

A note from the WebWeaver:

The first of these four planned consultations has already taken place.  You may want to pay attention to these potentially significant discussions, and join in on one of them.

And if you do take part in one, we'd like to hear your impressions!


Louisville, Kentucky:

The 212th General Assembly (2000) directed the Office of Theology and Worship to "constitute a task force to study the doctrine of the Trinity in Presbyterian theology and worship, with particular attention to the need to recover the terms and images that refer to the being of the persons of the Trinity."

As part of its initial efforts to fulfill this mandate, the Office of Theology and Worship will hold open discussions in four locations around the country (One of which has already been held.) so that interested persons can help the Office identify issues and directions for study. In each city there will be two sessions, one morning and one afternoon. Participants can choose to come to the morning or the afternoon session. No registration is required. Your presence and input in these discussions are needed! If a session is in your area, or you know someone in these areas, please make a special effort to attend.

The sessions will be led by Charles Wiley, Associate for Theology, with one other staff member from the Office at each location.

At each site there will be two sessions: Session A 9:30-11:30 am; Session B 1:00-3:00 pm

Some blogs worth visiting

PVJ's Facebook page

Mitch Trigger, PVJ's Secretary/Communicator, has created a Facebook page where Witherspoon members and others can gather to exchange news and views. Mitch and a few others have posted bits of news, both personal and organizational. But there’s room for more!

You can post your own news and views, or initiate a conversation about a topic of interest to you.

 

Voices of Sophia blog

Heather Reichgott, who has created this new blog for Voices of Sophia, introduces it:

After fifteen years of scholarship and activism, Voices of Sophia presents a blog. Here, we present the voices of feminist theologians of all stripes: scholars, clergy, students, exiles, missionaries, workers, thinkers, artists, lovers and devotees, from many parts of the world, all children of the God in whose image women are made. .... This blog seeks to glorify God through prayer, work, art, and intellectual reflection. Through articles and ensuing discussion we hope to become an active and thoughtful community.
