- Intercultural Perspectives on Ministry Among Emerging Adults | Alcántara, Bell Profit, & Roh
Intercultural perspectives on emerging adulthood bring important depth and texture to any and all conversations about emerging adulthood. Each panelist in our intercultural perspectives panel share fresh stories and significant experiences drawn from their time working in non-white, immigrant, and diaspora ministry settings. By sharing their stories, they identify points of convergence and divergence with contemporary research on emerging adults. They also help see how crucial intercultural perspectives are for any person who hopes to minister to emerging adults. The panelists challenge assumptions, offer significant insights, and raise thought-provoking questions.

Sermon Title - "I Hope You Dance": A Sermon on Lamentations 3
Dr. Carolyn Gordon muses about how we survive “the next day,” that is the day after the day we never wanted to live through, when we wake up after a broken relationship, jobless, or bereft. She narrates Jeremiah’s story. His call from God was to prophesy from a life full of hardship and tragedy. And there were moments when he thought he could take no more, when he wanted to give up. So the words of Lamentations 3 are words for when there are no words. He is introspective, clearly and honestly expressing his angst, retrospective, remembering when God and his work, and given a new perspective, which allows him to lean on God’s mercies and grace. He is an example of one who, even in the distress, dances in the showers of God’s mercies and grace.Carolyn Gordon (PhD Howard University) is Associate Professor and Chair of Mass Communication at Mississippi Valley State University. She previously taught at Fuller Theological Seminary. She is a former columnist for The Beacon newspaper and has produced several television shows including, “Another Day” for KYFC-TV in Kansas City, Missouri and “A Point of View” for BSU-TV in Bowie, Maryland.The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church.

Discussion Topic - Church and Reconciliation: State of the Issue
Doctrine and doctrinal issues are not merely aloof ideas that flit about within the closed precincts of academic institutions, but the living reality of the people of God located within local neighborhoods, neighborhoods replete with all layers of broken relationships. Positively, churches everywhere have been entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation” (2 Cor. 5:18), beginning with the thought that God brings together things that are broken. In this opening symposium, a conversation with Trinity’s own Peter Cha, Michael Reynolds, and Harold Netland, and moderated by pastor and president emeritus Gregory Waybright, we will begin framing our year-long conversation on the doctrine of Reconciliation by considering its very concrete and practical outworkings within the context of the local church.Peter T. Cha (PhD Northwestern University) is Professor of Church, Culture and Society at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is co-editor of Growing Healthy Asian American Churches: Ministry Insights from Groundbreaking Congregations (InterVarsity Press, 2006).Harold A.

Reynolds (DMin McCormick Theological Seminary) is Affiliate Professor of Pastoral Theology, Associate Professor of Christian Ministries, and Executive Director and Associate Dean of the Chicago Regional Center at Trinity International University. He is senior editor of the ESV Urban Devotional Bible (Crossway, 2007) and author of Still Off-Base About Race: When We Know the Truth, Things Will Be Different (Dream Releaser, 2021).Visit the HCTU website: https://henrycenter.tiu.edu/

Sermon Title - God and Sinners Reconciled: And Calls Us--Yes, Us--to Follow (Mark 8:34-38, 10:17-31)
Greg Waybright continues his two-part series (part 1) on God and reconciliation in the gospel of Mark. He expounds Christ’s call to radical discipleship in Mark 8:34-38, and describes the path we can walk down alongside our eternal brothers and sisters in Mark 10:28-31. The hard work of reconciliation first requires that we deny ourselves and pick up our crosses in our pursuit of Christ, submitted to whatever he demands. Yet, Christ doesn’t leave us without the resources we need to do his work. He provides a family of God in the form of the local church – a family that grows with each new member of our respective communities reconciled to God our Father. This is the framework that guides us as we step into our neighborhoods as ambassadors of reconciliation.Gregory Waybright (PhD Marquette University) is President Emeritus of Trinity International University (1995-2007).

Sermon Title - God and Sinners Reconciled: He Enters In (Mark 7:24-30)
Dr. Greg Waybright turns to an unlikely passage as he begins his first of two (part II) messages on God and Reconcilation. Expounding Mark 7:24-30, the story of the Syrophoenecian woman, Waybright draws out the ways that Jesus entered in to the lives of the disenfranchised, the sick, the marginalized, and the poor to reconcile them to himself. Jesus entered into the difficulties, pain, and brokenness of the world, and then shows how Christians are to do likewise.Gregory Waybright (PhD Marquette University) is President Emeritus of Trinity International University (1995-2007).

Lecture Title: Lost in Policy? The Person Beyond Public and Social Utility
Contemporary Christian debates about public policy tend to rely on simply reading one’s preferred political views into Scripture. Often lost in the conversation, are the very people themselves. Drawing on resources from the tradition of Christian social thought, Bradley will call us to a vision of the human person ordered in Creation. This alternative understanding of personhood offers Evangelicals an opportunity to transcend the binaries and idols of “left” vs. “right” and to promote the basic social, political, and economic structures that lead to human flourishing.Anthony B. Bradley (PhD Westminster Theological Seminary) is Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Human Flourishing at The King’s College. He is also Distinguished Research Fellow at the Acton Institute. He is author or editor of multiple books, including Aliens in the Promised Land: Why Minority Leadership is Overlooked in White Christian Churches and Institutions (P&R, 2013), Ending Overcriminalization and Mass Incarceration: Hope from Civil Society (Cambridge University Press, 2018), and Faith in Society: 13 Profiles of Christians Adding Value to the Modern World (Resource, 2019).The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church.

Sermon Title - Looking Up and Looking Out: A Theology of Reconciliation
There is something about the verticality of life. Whether telephone poles or sky scrapers. But we don’t simply look up; we also look out. There is also something horizontal. In our embodied existence, we see the two dimensions. Even on the cross, there is a vertical and a horizontal directionality. One is ineffective without the other. Yet, in much of our American culture, we have not sustained this mutuality. In this sermon, Rev. Ralph West exhorts the church to remember and live in the fact of the battle won. The victory of the cross has brought in the horizontality of the message, and now we are all ministers with a message and a ministry of reconciliation.Ralph D.
