SUMMARY:2019 Blandy Lectures and Alumni Convocation
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to the 2019 Blandy Lectures and Alumni Convocation!\nhttp://ssw.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/curry_blandy.mp4\nJoin us for the convocation on November 7–9\, 2019.\nAlongside thoughtful programming\, Blandy offers alumni\, students\, faculty\, and friends of the seminary an opportunity to reconnect through worship\, fun\, and fellowship. In addition to the thought-provoking speaker and programming\, attendees are invited to worship in Christ Chapel\, a fun Friday night dinner\, and to cheer on the ThuriBulls at the annual Polity Bowl. \nIn a world where our awareness and understanding of mental-health issues is growing\, Blandy lecturer Dr. Warren Kinghorn will speak to the convocation about the intersection of Christian communities and mental-health care\, especially around the issue of moral injury. \n  \nRegister today: \n\n \nLearn more about the entire 3 day event below: \nKeynote Lectures by Dr. Warren Kinghorn\nThursday\, November 7: Walking with Veterans After War: Combat Trauma\, Moral Injury\, and the Journey Home\n\n\n\nAround 1 in 5 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan\, as well as many veterans of other conflicts\, meet criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)\, and many veterans live with difficult memories of actions witnessed or done in war\, which is often described as “moral injury.”  The experiences now known as moral injury were deeply connected to the rise of the diagnosis of PTSD\, were systematically forgotten\, and are now being recognized and remembered.   But moral injury cannot be reduced to a clinical category; rather\, in pointing beyond individual veterans to the social and moral context of war and military life\, moral injury demands that veterans be recognized not as bearers of unwanted psychiatric symptoms but as moral and spiritual agents who are seeking to survive in a morally fragmented world.   Veterans with moral injury\, in other words\, are not machines that need fixing but wayfarers who need connection and accompaniment.  Engaging clinical\, ethical\, political\, and theological dimensions of moral injury\, we will explore steps for walking faithfully and helpfully with returning combat veterans in ways that honor agency\, promote connection\, and encourage vocation.\n  \nDr. Kinghorn’s lecture on Thursday\, November 7 at 7:30 p.m. is free and open to the public. \n  \nFriday\, November 8: From Control to Wonder: Action\, Contemplation\, and Modern Mental Health Care\nMental health care\, especially the practice of psychiatry\, is often focused on establishing and maintaining control over distressing or disvalued emotion\, experience\, and behavior.   Control over one’s body and one’s life is an important human good\, especially for survivors of trauma.   But control is not the highest good\, and programs of mental health care that focus on control may promote unhealthy practices of self-surveillance and subjection to technologies of control.   By contrast\, Christian reflection on action and contemplation has often emphasized that control is a proximate good that enables and points toward the higher goods of love\, wonder\, and contemplation.   What would it look like for mental health care practices to be oriented not toward control but toward wonder?   Focusing on St. Thomas Aquinas’ treatment of the active life and contemplative life (Summa theologiae IIaIIae qq. 179-182)\, we will explore the role of prudence and the moral virtues in framing healthy strategies of control that yet point beyond themselves toward the capacity for love and wonder for God and for all that God has made-and how mental health care would look different as a result. \n\n\nContinuing Education\nSeveral continuing education sessions will be offered\, including: \n\nUndoing Anti-Judaism in the Liturgy presented by The Rev. Dan Joslyn-Siemiatkoski and Rabbi Neil Blumofe.\nNew Telemental Health Practices: Ethics\, Rules and Clinical Considerations presented by the Southwest Counseling Faculty\n\n\nWorship in Christ Chapel\nThursday\, November 7\n5:30pm Alumni Eucharist\nThe Rev. Eric Hungerford ’10\, Preaching\nThe Rev. Kathy Pfister ’10\, Presiding\nFriday\, November 8\n9:30am Morning Prayer\n11:45am Jazz Noonday Eucharist\nThe Very Rev. Cynthia Briggs Kittredge\, ThD\, Preaching\nThe Rev. Justin Lindstrom ’99 Presiding\n5:00pm Evening Prayer\nOrganized by The Loise Henderson Wessendorf Center for Christian Ministry and Vocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDinner\, Live Music and more!\n \n“Wendy Colonna is not just a singer-songwriter\, she’s a force of nature.” – Austin American-Statesman \nBlandy revs up as it winds down with dinner\, live music\, and a pep rally for our ThuriBulls in the next day’s Polity Bowl. Austin singer-songwriter Wendy Colonna will entertain with her soulful style that has been described as a soul singer\, who\, “delivers hard-hitting truths about loss\, anguish\, and love.” \n\nLearn more at wendycolonna.com \n\n\nFind the full Blandy schedule below.\nFor more information\, please contact Katherine Bailey Brown\, director of annual giving and alumni relations\, at katherine.brown@ssw.edu or 512.472.4133 ext. 333. \n  \nFull Blandy schedule:\nThursday\, November 7\n1:30                 Registration\, light bites\, and drinks \n1:45                 Welcome and Overview \n2:00                 Continuing Ed Session 1: Undoing Anti-Judaism in the Liturgy\, The Rev.

SUMMARY:2019 Harvey Lecture: The Rev. John Floberg
DESCRIPTION:Please join Seminary of the Southwest for the 2019 Harvey Lecture\, featuring \nThe Rev. John Floberg\nMonday\, March 25\, 2019  |  6:30 p.m.\nWeeks Campus Center\, Seminary of the Southwest\n \n  \nThe Rev. John Floberg is supervising priest for three Episcopal congregations at Standing Rock Sioux Nation. Leader of the Episcopal Church’s support to water protectors at Standing Rock\, Floberg organized a national call to serve that drew more than 500 interfaith clergy and lay ministers to Standing Rock in November 2016. Floberg is former canon missioner for the Diocese of North Dakota and a former member of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church. \n  \nThe Harvey Lecture is free and open to the public. \n  \n\nThe Harvey Lectures were conceived at Seminary of the Southwest as a way of honoring the late Dean Harvey\, who died unexpectedly in 1972\, after serving as the seminary’s dean for just five years. \nDuring Dean Harvey’s tenure\, following some institutional turbulence during the 1960s\, the seminary had begun rebuilding: in terms of enrollment\, financial strength\, and earning back the trust of many dioceses through the church. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe seminary community established the Harvey Lectures an annual series that would be overseen by student leaders and that would address the relationship between pastoral leadership and contemporary issues confronting the church. \nOver the years\, these Lectures have become a lasting and vital resource for the seminary\, bringing important and diverse theological voices to our campus.

Melanie Jones is a womanist ethicist\, millennial preacher\, and intellectual activist. As an emergent scholar in theological education advocating for social transformation in the church\, classroom\, and global community\, Jones was quickly recruited to serve on the BRSG executive board. In her role as the BRSG director of social media and public outreach\, she has poised herself as a leading millennial voice with a global public platform teaching in lecture halls and preaching in pulpits across the globe and traveling to cities in North America\, Australia\, the Bahamas\, Bermuda\, Ghana\, New Zealand\, and the United Arab Emirates. Her extensive teaching experience ranges from undergraduate teaching to graduate and seminary teaching in both face-to-face and online courses in humanities\, theology\, ethics\, gender/sexuality studies and writing. She is a third-generation Baptist preacher and the youngest ordained clergywoman at South Suburban Missionary Baptist Church in Harvey\, IL\, where she serves as associate minister and leads the women’s ministry. Currently\, she is a Doctor of Philosophy candidate at Chicago Theological Seminary. \n  \nThursday\, February 28\n\nBlack History Month Celebration of the Holy Eucharist\n\nGuest preacher: The Rev.

Campbell \n5:30 p.m.  |  Christ Chapel \nDinner reception to follow  |  Howell Dining Hall \n  \nThe Rev. Jonathan L. Walton\, PhD\, is an acclaimed author\, social ethicist\, and religious scholar. Much of Walton’s scholarship is focused on evangelical Christianity and its relationship to mass media and political culture. His first book\, Watch This! The Ethics and Aesthetics of Black Televangelism (NYU Press\, 2009)\, examines the theological and political traditions of African American religious broadcasters. Walton is also an outspoken advocate for social justice and civil rights\, as well as a passionate voice in support of the marginalized. His work and insights have been featured in several national and international news outlets including The New York Times\, CNN\, and the BBC. Devotion to those social issues are prevalent in his writings\, media interviews\, speaking engagements and sermons. \nWalton’s latest book\, A Lens of Love: Reading the Bible in Its World for Our World (Westminster John Knox Press\, 2018)\, is an extension of his work from the pulpit and classroom. The book is the interpretative exploration of the Bible from the perspective of the most vulnerable and violated characters in scriptures. A Lens of Love is an aid for Christians who seek to be rooted in faith while pursuing professional lives that are just and ethical and challenge inequity. He lives with his family in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, and Atlanta\, Georgia. \nRead more about Jonathan Walton here. \n  \nAll events are free and open to the public. \n  \n \n
