Question of the day: What do Christian hope and peace look like and how are we formed into them? This question invites participants into new vision, imagination, and practice. We will consider hopeful lives, models, and stories that shape and sustain a new future and new habits and skills, and give witness to the reality that the way things are is not the way things have to be.
Question of the day: Reconciliation toward what? We will consider the theological vision toward which reconciliation leads and invite participants to form a scriptural and contextual imagination of God’s new creation.
Question of the day: How does is the ministry of reconciliation sustained over the long haul? This question explores personal vocation, calling and formation in life and community guided by the Holy Spirit. We will highlight practices, rhythms, convictions, and the means of grace through which God shapes and sustains people and communities even in the face of challenges and obstacles. Participants will be invited to form a deep and lively practical spirituality which can sustain them and others over the long haul.
Rice and Colon-Emeric provide the event with a final sending forth; a final time for participants to reflect on their time with Summer Institute and how to take their experiences back to their communities.
