The Sixth Annual Divinity School Ministry Conference:
Worship in Crisis
Friday, April 23rd 2010
9am-5pm (with a reception following)
University of Chicago Divinity School
1025 E. 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637
Worship in Crisis will bring together laypersons, pastors, students and theologians to discuss the crises that confront the practice of Christian worship in our time, from economic collapse to ecological endangerment. What might moments of crisis require of faith communities?
Joining the conversation with keynote addresses are Peter Rollins and Siobhan Garrigan as well as a panel focusing on liturgical responses to local issues. Through hands-on breakout sessions, participants themselves will explore creative ways in which timely worship can speak to the crises of today.
