APLM 2013 Conference: "Stirring the Waters: Reclaiming the Missional, Subversive Character of Baptism"
June 27-29, 2013, Techny Towers, Chicago
APLM is partnering with the North American Association for the Catechumenate (NAAC) to bring you an exciting conference designed to inspire and challenge and equip congregations in robust baptismal celebration and formation, living and service.If the church exists to participate in God's mission to/in the world, then baptism, as initiation into the church's shared vocation, must have missional implications. If the church exists to be a sign of life according to the Reign of God, then baptism, as initiation into the church's fellowship/communion, must have a subversive character in context of the society in which we live. Therefore, this conference – through uplifting worship, inspiring and informative plenary sessions, practical workshops, opportunities for discussion – will provide participants with insights, resources and strategies for fostering these aspects of baptism in both the local and wider church. Our featured speakers:
- Ruth Meyers, Dean of Academic Affairs and Hodges-Haynes Professor of Liturgics at Church Divinity School of the Pacific, and a Council Member of APLM
- Benjamin M. Stewart, the Gordon A. Braatz Assistant Professor of Worship and Dean of Augustana Chapel at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago
- Bishop Jeff Lee, Bishop of Chicago (Episcopal) and a faculty member of the Credo Institute
Don’t delay! Register today!Online registration available here.
