Connect with others over timely topics

Join us as we explore the ‘Why’  and ‘What’ around communicating the word in Cascadia. Through rich conversations and discussion-based sessions, will be asking questions about how to engage scripture for meaningful engagement in community. What kind of conversational structures, formats, or texts are people using to make meaning? What practices? How might we engage innovations to re-imagine traditions that are catalyzing life and cultivating the healing of communities through using scripture.

Following are topics we are considering. Subscribe for the latest as our planning is finalized. 

How scripture speaks to specific people

Harm from organized religion

Congregational ministry

social justice

using creative arts

Ecology and scriptural texts on nature

Creation care

Secular / post-Christendom

As a companion event, we are excited to launch the inaugural Reimagining Preaching Conference on May 3rd. This conference will equip experienced, lay, and new preachers to bring the Word to life by diving into preaching inspiration, tools, skills, and practices. Keynote speaker Rev. Dr. Teresa Fry Brown will ground our time together before we break into workshops that reimagine preaching through the lenses of text, soul, and culture.
