We’re delighted to welcome the Rev. Dr. Chad Rimmer, Rector and Dean of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary at Lenoir-Rhyne University as our keynote speaker and preacher!
I Am About To Do A New Thing: Creating Ecologies of Grace in an Age of Ecological Breakdown.
What can we learn from an eco-theological perspective about the promise of faith-based advocacy that speaks to our current political and social climate? Weaving stories of advocacy from his time serving in Pennsylvania and around the globe on issues relating to immigration, gender and climate justice, Dr. Rimmer will share a vision of a hope-filled model for the public witness of our church in these times of ecological breakdown.
