SUMMARY:Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Assassination of Martin Luther King\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s life and work on the 50th anniversary of his assassination\, Seminary of the Southwest will be honoring and remembering Dr. King in our midday chapel service and will be offering a lunch-time discussion of King’s writings and influence. \nThe chapel service will begin at 11:45am in Christ Chapel on the campus of Seminary of the Southwest. Senior seminarian The Rev. Greg Warren will preach. \nDr. Scott Bader-Saye\, Academic Dean and Helen and Everett H. Jones Professor of Christian Ethics and Moral Theology\, noted\, “As we face ongoing racial tension and violence in our country\, we have to acknowledge that the work Dr. King began has not been completed.  It is up to us\, people of all colors\, to carry forward the legacy of Dr. King’s witness.  Here at the seminary we want to mark this anniversary as an opportunity to remember\, to reflect\, and to renew our commitment to peace.” \nFollowing the service\, Dr. Anthony Baker will lead a lunch time discussion on the influence of the writings of Dr. King. The discussion will be over two of Dr. King’s sermons\, ‘Remaining Awake through a Great Revolution’ (transcript and audio) and ‘Paul’s Letter to American Christians’ (transcript and audio). \nThe Very Rev. Cynthia Briggs Kittredge\, Dean and President\, added\, “By observing the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King\, Jr.  our community will remember his life and death in the light of our worship in Easter week. May we bring closer the dream that MLK and the prophets have dreamed.” \nAs with all services at Christ Chapel\, all are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:2018 Harvey Lecture - Dr. Kristin Leslie
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 Harvey lecturer will be Dr. Kristin Leslie\, Professor of Pastoral Theology  and Care at Eden Theological Seminary. She will be delivering a talk titled: ‘Noisy Lament\, Noisy Believing: Sexual Assault in the time of #s’. \nThe lecture will be in the Weeks Campus Center beginning at 6:30pm on Monday\, April 9th. A desert reception and book signing will follow. \nDr. Leslie’s research has focused on intercultural pastoral theology; womanist and feminist pastoral counseling; pastoral theological implications of sexualized violence\, particularly on pastoral counseling issues for survivors of acquaintance rape; and ministry in higher education with young adults. She has taught many specialized courses on pastoral care and has led international travel seminars to Bosnia\, Croatia\, and Australia.  She has worked with chaplains in the U. S. Military on issues of sexualized and religious violence and religious intolerance. In 2005\, Dr. Leslie co-authored the report that brought to light the problem of Christian proselytizing at the Air Force Academy. In 2013\, she was awarded a Navy contract to train Navy\, Marines\, and Coast Guard chaplains on matters related to military sexual assault. \nDr. Leslie is the author of numerous essays\, including “Three Decades of Women Writing for their Lives” in Feminist and Womanist Pastoral Theology (Abington 1999)\, “Sexual Abuse” in The Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics (Baker\, 2011)\, “Spectrum of Pastoral Counseling” in the Encyclopedia of Religion and Psychology  (2013)\, as well as the book\, When Violence is No Stronger: Pastoral Counseling with Survivors of Acquaintance Rape (Fortress\, 2003).  She has prepared and presented journal articles and public lectures on pastoral care\, chaplaincy\, and spiritual care after rape. She occasionally is called on as a consultant for matters related to clergy misconduct\, religious intolerance\, and sexualized violence. \nAn ordained elder in the United Methodist Church\, she serves on the board of Care and Counseling\, a St. Louis-based pastoral counseling center and has served on several different governing boards for the denomination. \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\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 dioceses 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.

SUMMARY:'I Am Not Your Negro' Community Screening
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Seminary of the Southwest Black History Month planning committee invites you to a special community screening of James Baldwin’s I Am Not Your Negro (2016)\, followed by a faculty panel discussion with Melanie Jones\, Awa Jangha\, Margaret Aymer Oget\, and Asante Todd and moderated by Dan Joslyn-Siemiatoski. \n5:45 p.m.  |  I Am Not Your Negro screening\, Knapp Auditorium (snacks provided)\n7:30 p.m.  |  Faculty panel discussion \nPlease RSVP on Facebook or to Brittany James at brittany.james@ssw.edu. \n  \nAbout the film \nMaster filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished\, Remember This House. The result is a radical\, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America\, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And\, ultimately\, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of Medgar Evers\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.\, Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for. (From the film’s official website.) \n  \nStay tuned for more Black History Month events at Southwest coming in February 2019! \n
