In this session with new CCS program staff, Rev. Alcris Limongi, we will briefly name the processes of exclusion, marginalization, and structural inequality that are often unexamined in the church—what we call othering—and seek actions that move towards a church of belonging where there is mutual power, access, and opportunity for all people who share the space.

Centre for Christian Studies: CCS Fridays
2022-11-18 11:00 - 12:30 | Zoom
CCS Friday: Why First Advent Requires a Second Advent:
November 18th at 12 pm (Central Time).
“Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left.” – Matthew 24:40-41
Join us for an online discussion of Matthew 24 (lectionary reading for the first Sunday of Advent). How do we interpret this? Is this “rapture” or is it a renewal of creation? Our special guest will be Dan Epp-Tiessen, biblical scholar and semi-retired professor at the Canadian Mennonite University.
CCS Fridays are online conversations to help us all to respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are hosted by the Centre for Christian Studies and open to anyone who might be interested. Each session will be in the form of a Zoom workshop with a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.
The event is free but you must register by clicking here.
