Presenter - Shane Claiborne

With tears and laughter, Shane Claiborne unveils the tragic messes we’ve made of our world and the tangible hope that another world is possible. Shane graduated from Eastern University, and did graduate work at Princeton Seminary. His ministry experience is varied, from a 10-week stint working alongside Mother Teresa in Calcutta, to a year spent serving a wealthy mega-congregation at Willow Creek Community Church outside Chicago. Shane is the founding partner of The Simple Way, a faith community in inner city Philadelphia that has helped to birth and connect radical faith communities around the world. Shane writes and travels extensively speaking about peacemaking, social justice, and Jesus. He is featured in the DVD series Another World Is Possible and is the author of the several books including The Irresistible Revolution, Jesus for President, and Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers.

Incarnational Theology: The Call to Live Within the Reign of God

Monday, November 16 in Semelink Hall at Western Seminary
10:30 am: Resurrecting Church - With ancient stories of the early Christians and contemporary stories of ordinary radicals, Shane will invite us to re-imagine what it means to be the Body of Christ alive in the world.

1 pm: Another Way of Doing Life - Christians are meant to be radical nonconformists, interrupting the patterns of our world with prophetic imagination. The Kingdom of God is something we are to bring on earth as it is in heaven.

3 pm: Jesus for President - Discover new ways one can provoke the Christian political imagination.

7 pm: The Scandal of Grace - With new eyes can we look at people we don’t even like and see the one we Love? Shane will invite us to reflect on the scandal of God’s inclusive love...in a world that is starved for grace.
