"Ethical and Moral Foundations in Healthy Judgment"

Understanding, respecting, and honoring the ethical and moral foundations of others allows you to have healthier relationships with less tension. These practices are especially important when engaging with those who you believe seek to harm you and your message, or who are training others in harmful conduct.

"Reflections on the Prophetic Spirit within the African American Churches of Christ"

Jeff Brown 

The disciples met a stranger on the road to Emmaus. They welcomed him, and when they broke bread with him, they realized the stranger was Jesus. This story is our story, and it’s the story of our church's engagement with immigrants, refugees, and other "strangers." Our calling is not simply to be Jesus to people, but to see Jesus in all people.

"Why Churches Should Engage Families That Experience Disability Like Their Life Depends on It (Because It Does)"

Nearly 50 percent of parents of children with special needs refrain from religious activity because they do not feel welcomed or included. We will discuss how to think about disability theologically, offer tips for ministering to families that experience disability, and discuss some of the biggest challenges faced by special needs families, as well as equip churches to welcome families that experience disability. We will also discuss how those experiencing disability have essential things to teach us about the gospel.
