Embracing God's Future without Forgetting the Past

November 20-21, 2020
**This is an online event**
​

"As we face challenges and changes in the present, our yearning for the past can trap us.  As we consider our past, we can attempt to re-create it, we can try to forget it, or we can tap into our nostalgic memories in order to learn from it.  As we consider the future, we can fear it, try to avoid it, or adapt to the changes that have brought the future to our doorstep.  [p. xxii]."  So writes Michael Girlinghouse in his book Embracing God’s Future without Forgetting the Past: A Conversation about Loss, Grief, and Nostalgia in Congregational Life.   Reverend Girlinghouse has been the bishop of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod of the Evangelical Church in America since 2011.  Prior to that he was a pastor and oversaw a student ministry in Norman OK. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 1983 and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in 1987. 

When?

​We begin on Friday evening at 7:00 pm. We will meet on Saturday beginning at 10:00 a.m. and will finish at 1:15 p.m. 

How Much?

There is no cost. This event is underwritten by the Region’s “Preparing for God’s Future” Palmer Grant.
