SUMMARY:2017 Harvey Lecture - Rev. Kim Jackson
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Harvey Lecture will be presented by the Rev. Kim Jackson\, Associate Rector for Adult Formation and Christian Social Action Ministries at All Saints Church in Atlanta\, Georgia. She is a public theologian and a fierce community activist. Kim works to end the death penalty\, advocates for women and children’s issues\, and is passionate about sharing the liberating Gospel of Christ. \nA frequent member of the faculty of the Episcopal Preaching Foundation’s Preaching Excellence Program\, Rev. Jackson will present a reflection on her work as a priest and social activist entitled\, “From Protests to Pulpits: Priesting in a Black Lives Matter Era.” The lecture will be in the Weeks Campus Center beginning at 7:00. A desert reception will follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 5 years.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Dean Harvey’s tenure\, following some institutional turbulence during the 1960’s\,  the seminary had begun rebuilding in terms of enrollment\, financial strength\, and earning back the trust of many diocese through the church. \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 seminary campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendees- download your Continuing Education Participation certificate here: \n\n	2017-Harvey-Lecture-Participation-Certificate_Lecturer_The-Rev.-Kim-Jackson_3_27_17.pdf\n\n

SUMMARY:Episcopal Latino Ministry Competency Course
DESCRIPTION:Seminary of the Southwest\, in partnership with the Episcopal Church Office of Latino/Hispanic Ministries\, will offer this summer a 9-day course to educate on cultural competency and ministry to our Latino/Hispanic populations. The course will be offered June 18 – 27\, 2017\, at Seminary of the Southwest in Austin\, Texas\, and will be taught by seminary faculty\, lay church leaders and clergy with extensive experience in Latino and intercultural ministry. \nThe early bird registration deadline is April 7\, 2017. Click here to register. \n“The purpose of Episcopal Latino Ministry Competency course is to provide a hands-on\, cultural competency of the history\, culture\, socio-demographic\, and religious aspects of the Latinos/Hispanics in the United States\,” said the Rev. Canon Anthony Guillén\, Episcopal Church Missioner for Latino/Hispanic Ministries\, “and to provide the foundational tools necessary for church leaders to discern and explore the type of Latino/Hispanic ministry that best fits a congregational setting and its context.” \nGuillén added\, “This multi-faceted\, intensive course also exposes students to the general profiles and ministry distinctions between the immigrant/first generation Latinos and the U.S born\, multi-generational Latinos which require more of a bicultural\, bilingual or English-dominant ministry and evangelization.” \nEnabled by General Convention 2015 Resolution AO86:  Create a Network of Partners on Latino/Hispanic Congregational Ministry Development\, the course will combine academic learning with hands-on experience to provide foundational tools for church leaders to gain a deep understanding of ways of welcoming and serving Latino families\, and sharing spiritual\, sacramental and community life together. \n“This course is exactly what the church needs right now\,” observed Scott Bader-Saye\, Academic Dean at Seminary of the Southwest. “The missional future of the Episcopal Church must include creative and culturally competent ministry in Latino/Hispanic contexts.” \nThe course will be conducted in English; bilingual faculty will interpret as needed\, from Spanish to English. \nRead the full press release here.

SUMMARY:Hispanic Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Join the community of Seminary of the Southwest as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage throughout October.\nEvents include: \nOctober 16 – November 2\, 2017: Latino Art Display in the Weeks Center \nOctober 25\, 2017: Miguelina Howell\, Dean of Christ Church Cathedral\, Hartford\, CT\, will be the featured Lecturer for Hispanic Heritage Month at 7 pm\, preceded by a 6 pm reception. She will also preside for morning chapel at 11:45am. \nPrior to her appointment as the Tenth Dean\, Miguelina served as Vicar of the Cathedral.    Miguelina is originally from the Dominican Republic where she holds a license in clinical psychology.   She was ordained in 2002 in the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic. She is a member of the Episcopal Church Latino/Hispanic Ministries Council of Advice\, member of the Board of the Society for the Increase of Ministry and was appointed to serve on the General Convention 2015  Task Force on Sustentability and Development of Latino/Hispanic Ministries. \nMiguelina serves as a faculty member of CREDO\, a wellness program of the Church Pension Group. She was the seventh Rector of the Church of the Epiphany\, Diocese of Newark\, and served as a member of the Task Force for Re-imagining the Episcopal Church. \nIn the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic she was Priest-in-Charge of three congregations\, executive director and administrator of the Diocesan Camp & Conference Center\, and coordinator of Young Adult Ministries. Miguelina has also served as a member of the Presiding Bishop’s Staff at the Episcopal Church Center\, as a member of the Council of Advice of the President of the House of Deputies\, and as a member of Executive Council of the Episcopal Church. \nNovember 2\, 2017: Bishop Hector Monterroso at All Souls Day Evening Eucharist \nA native of Guatemala\, the Rt. Rev. Hector Monterroso served as bishop of Costa Rica for 14 years before becoming bishop assistant in the Diocese of Texas\, July 1\, 2017. \nHis father’s professional soccer career proved to be an opener for him in gathering people to a new worshiping community. “My training in the seminary did not include how to [plant] new churches\,” he said\, but with his inherited soccer skills\, he soon made headway. “People couldn’t believe that a priest could play soccer. I visited many small towns where the people came to learn that I was the priest of the new church. Many young people came to the church to meet and to play on my soccer team. Eventually\, we had our own soccer team sponsored by the Episcopal Church. It was good advertising\,” he laughed. \nIn addition to his experience as a missionary\, and as Bishop of Costa Rica\, Bishop Monterroso also served as Secretary General of Province IX (1986-2000); as editor of the Revista Anglicanos for 16 years\, a magazine that served the Hispanic diaspora in the Anglican Communion; and as Secretary General of the Anglican Church of the Central Region of America. During his tenure in Costa Rica\, he secured its financial stability\, increased the number of clergy from seven to 29\, assured that most congregations were self-sustaining\, and gained governmental recognition and support for many of the Diocese’s programs. \nIn Texas\, Bishop Monterroso will continue to strengthen the growth in both Hispanic congregations as well as new missional communities and church plants. He will visit 45 congregations during the year; primarily in the southern region of the Diocese of Texas; chair the board of St. Vincent’s House\, a social service agency in Galveston; support growth of multicultural presence in all congregations and help to create a strategy for new ethnic church plants and missional communities. Additionally\, Assistant Bishop Monterroso will work to identify vocational leaders within the Hispanic congregations. \nBishop Monterroso earned an engineering degree and attended seminary at night while working for a rum company. He was ordained as a deacon in 1986\, a priest in 1987 in the Diocese of Guatemala and consecrated as the Bishop of Costa Rica on June 7\, 2003. He and his wife\, Sandra Cardona\, have two grown children: María Beatriz\, a medical doctor in Costa Rica\, and Héctor Ramón\, a civil engineer. \nNovember 2\, 2017: Migrant: A Tribute through the Arts — Multi-media Presentation
