The Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis was delivering an impromptu sermon at the end of a long, hot day riding around Western Kentucky on a bumpy bus when she turned to the story of a leper who approached Jesus.“The leper said, ‘If you choose, you can heal me,’” Theoharis said. “’If you choose, you can heal me.’“Now that leper had gone a lot of places up to that point. He went to the HMOs of his day, and they turned him away. He went to the hospitals nearby, they had closed down. But Jesus traveled around the land opening up free healthcare clinics, never charged a co-pay. The leper said to Jesus, ‘If you choose, you can heal me.’“The question before us this afternoon is, ‘Do we choose?’”

Dr. Love Sechrest, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty at Columbia Theological Seminary, announced Tuesday that Wonchul Shin will be called as the Visiting Professor of Ethics and Theology, and Louisville Institute Postdoctoral Fellow effective Aug. 26.

Being the church is more than just “gathering on the Sabbath.” It’s more than “mission projects that have a start and end date.” It’s more than “just having a title, but it is a way of being that you cannot turn on and off,” says Dr. Tony McNeill, worship music leader for Big Tent, set for Aug. 1-3 in Baltimore.

For McNeill, being the church and attending Sunday services are inseparable from the quest for justice. He said those attending the Big Tent celebration can expect to experience this first- hand.

The Rev. Dr. Ray Jones says he’s learned plenty of evangelism truths while visiting the Global South.

One was from an Anglican priest from Kenya, who claimed — rightfully, Jones said — that there are many Christians who love their church more than they love God.

인류가 지구의 천연 자원에 관해서 어떤 역할을 하는가? 그들은 하나님의 선물을 의지대로 사용하는가? 아니면 사람들이 하나님이 주신 것을 보호하기 위해 더 많은 일을 해야 하는가? 그것들은 미국장로교 총회 정서기인 제이 허버트 넬슨^{J. Herbert Nelson, II} 목사에게 최근 제기된 몇 가지 질문이었다. 넬슨은 Weather Channel의 오디오 팟캐스트인 Warming Signs에 최근 출연했다.

¿Qué papel juega la raza humana cuando se trata de los recursos naturales de la tierra? ¿Son dones de Dios para usar a su voluntad, o deberían las personas hacer más para proteger lo que Dios ha dado?

Nelson recently appeared on Warming Signs, an audio podcast from the Weather Channel.
