SUMMARY:2024 World Mission Institute

This event will be held both in person and virtually on February 29th\, 2024 at 6:00 pm CST. \n  \nEVENT SYNOPSIS\nClimate change presents humanity with a kairos moment\, a critical moment in time when God is leading us into decisive action. Almost forty years ago\, the 1985 South African Kairos Document issued a prophetic word about apartheid. More recently\, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has named the climate crisis as a kairos\, a term the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and others have also now adopted. How can a biblical sense of kairos help our prophetic eco-justice mission of caring for God’s creation today? \n\n\n\n\nDr. Barbara Rossing\nRev. Dr. Barbara Rossing has taught New Testament at LSTC for 30 years\, where she also serves as the seminary’s Environmental Ministry coordinator. Her biblical scholarly work focuses on the apocalyptic book of Revelation. Her publications include The Rapture Exposed: The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation as well as chapters on Revelation\, climate justice\, eschatology\, global mission\, apocalyptic ecology\, and the Bible. \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Joanne (Jaruko) Doi\, MM\nAssistant Professor of Intercultural Studies and Ministry\, CTU \n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Dr. Theodore Hiebert\nThe Francis A. McGaw Professor of Old Testament and Dean of the Faculty Emeritus at McCormick Theological Seminary \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Marvin E.

SUMMARY:24th Annual Tolton Lecture "If Not for the Women"
DESCRIPTION:The contributions of the women to the mission and growth of the Church are understated. If Not for the Women\, engages the role of women in the Salvation story of the Christian movement supported by scripture and historical narratives. The cultural context of the role of Black women in the evangelization mission of Kingdom building is explored. \nThe Augustus Tolton Pastoral Ministry Scholarship Program was established in 1990 in partnership with the Archdiocese of Chicago and Catholic Theological Union.  It was developed to meet the growing needs of African American Catholics in the Archdiocese of Chicago.  It provides an opportunity for African Americans to receive academic\, personal\, spiritual and professional education and training in preparation for professional ministry within the Archdiocese of Chicago. \nThe Tolton Program was named after Fr. Augustus Tolton\, born in 1854\, ordained in 1866\, who was the first recognized African-American priest in the United States. A tireless minister and man of God\, Fr. Tolton died on July 8\, 1897.  The cause for canonization was opened in 2010 for Servant of God Augustus Tolton.  The legacy of Fr. Augustus Tolton is evident today through the commitment of men and women of African ancestry who are currently pursuing theological studies at Catholic Theological Union.

SUMMARY:St. Miles: A New Play on Black Sainthood by Jarrett King
DESCRIPTION:The Schreiter Institute at Catholic Theological Union Presents: A Staged Reading of “St. Miles”; A New Play on Black Sainthood by Jarrett King. St. Miles is a fictional narrative that playwright Jarrett King summarizes in this way: “What are protests if not a form of prayer? \nSt. Miles is a fictional narrative that playwright Jarrett King summarizes in this way: “What are protests if not a form of prayer? Five years ago\, the Ellis family lost one of its members\, a young Black man named Miles\, to an act of police violence. Now Miles’s mother Opal wants him to be recognized as a saint.  As the Ellises navigate the arduous canonization process\, the family clashes and battle lines are drawn. Is true salvation on the other side of it all? There are 10\,000 saints in the Catholic Church—not one of them is African American. Yet.” \nCTU will host a reading of the play\, St. Miles\, with professional actors. There will be one intermission. And there will be a Q&A discussion afterwards with the playwright. Refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Winter 2024 Shapiro Lecture with Dr. Joel Kaminsky
DESCRIPTION:Sibling Rivals: How the Idea of Chosenness Unites and Divides Jews and Christians\n  \nThe idea that God specially chose the people of Israel is central to the theology of the Hebrew Bible yet is among the most maligned and misunderstood biblical concepts. This talk aims to introduce major aspects of the Hebrew Bible’s election theology by highlighting how early Christian and ancient rabbinic sources adopted various facets of the biblical idea of chosenness in unique and at times inverse ways\, leaving Jews and Christians both united and divided by the scriptural heritage they share. \nThe Winter Shapiro Lecture will be offered Virtually. \nThe Lecture will begin at 7:00 CT. \nPlease register below to receive the event link. \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Book Event - Bible\, Interpretation\, and Context: Reading Meaning from an African Perspective
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS BOOK\n\n\nThis book is a collection of essays that contribute to the debate on the contextual interpretation of scripture from an African context. The book engages biblical narratives from the lived experiences of Africans\, insisting that meaning is attained only when people bring their daily experiences into their reading of scripture. The contributors examine the interaction of African peoples with the Bible in juxtaposition with the forces of colonialism\, neocolonialism\, patriarchy\, war\, and bad governance. This book gives voice to the lived experiences of African peoples in their quest for full expression of the profundity of their union with God by aiding them to unmask inhumanity and indignity. \n\n\n  \nGuests \n\n\nProf James Okoye\, Honoree\nProf Lyn Osiek\nProf Steve Bevans\nProf Mark Enemali\nProf Barbara Reid \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n■ Location\nONLINE & IN-PERSON \n  \n■ Registration\nRegistration is required

SUMMARY:The Synodal Way\, Going Forward: A Synod Debrief Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Synod Debrief Conversation\n\n\nFrom October 4-29\, delegates from around the world gathered in Rome for concluding conversations in the Synod on Synodality.

These and many more topics were brought to the fore by delegates representing parishes\, religious orders\, and other Catholic organizations who participated in earlier Synodal conversations and stages. On November 13\, Catholic Theological Union is hosting a post-synod conversation with some of the key players in these conversations.

SUMMARY:The Louis J. Luzbetak\, SVD Lecture 2023
DESCRIPTION:Where is the Center of World Christianity Today? The Five Frontiers of Mission and Theology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis lecture contests some of the settled claims about the shifting center of Christianity from the West to the Global South\, particularly that Africa is the new center of Christianity. The lecturer engages some of the new methodologies for studying the shifting momentum of Christian expansion. The lecture then will identify the five new frontiers of mission and theology today—politics\, peripheries\, ecology\, wealth\, and hope. The question of hope for the victims of history becomes a necessary theological and missional task for theology and the Christian movement in answering the perennial question: Where is God in all of this? Answering this in the face of these new frontiers will be presented as the center around which mission should revolve. \n  \nOnline & In-Person \n\n\n\n\nCatholic Theological Union\, Room 210 \n5416 South Cornell Avenue\, Chicago\, Illinois 60615 \n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the Louis J. Luzbetak Lecture \nThe Louis J. Luzbetak\, SVD\, Chair of Mission and Culture was endowed by the Chicago Province of the Society of the Divine Word in order to highlight the important link between mission\, Christianity\, and culture\, which has been a key element of its charism since the late nineteenth century. The chair and annual lectureship appropriately bears the name of Fr. Louis Luzbetak\, SVD (1918-2005)\, cultural anthropologist and ecumenically-recognized pioneer in the field of missionary anthropology. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the CTU Committee of World Mission
