SUMMARY:Mobilising Matthew among the marginalized: 30 years of community-based Bible study in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Contextual Bible Study\, which is a form of community-based Bible re-reading practice\, has worked with Matthew’s Gospel in South Africa for more than 30 years.

Matthew’s Gospel offers resources both through Matthew’s own particular theological orientation and through the sources that Matthew has re-used. \nGerald West\, Professor Emeritus\, Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and African Biblical Hermeneutics in the School of Religion\, Philosophy\, and Classics\, University of KwaZulu-Natal\, and Fellow\, University of KwaZulu-Natal\, South Africa \n \n  \nThis event will be hosted online and in person at the Centre for Theology and Ministry. \nTo register\, click here \n  \nDate: Thursday August 4 \nLocation: Centre for Theology and Ministry\, 29 College Crescent Parkville VIC 3052 and online \nTime: 7.00pm AEST \nCost: Free \n  \nRegistrations close Monday August 1

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Transitional Ministry\, part 2: The Work of the Congregation
DESCRIPTION:This year FTM C is being delivered in a combination of online and in person formats. You must participate in all 4 days to record satisfactory attendance: \n  \n\nAugust 9th – 9.30-4.30pm – online\nAugust 16th – 9.30-4.30pm – online\nAugust 23rd – 9.30-5pm; 6.30-8.30pm\, August 24th – 9.30-4.30pm – in person at the Centre for Theology and Ministry.\n\n  \nFundamentals of Transitional Ministry: The Work of the Congregation (FTM-C) is the second part of FTM training; it builds upon the work begun in Fundamentals of Transitional Ministry: The Work of the Leader (FTM-L). You need to have completed FTM –L in order to enrol in FTM-C. Satisfactory completion of FTM – C qualifies the participant as an Intentional Interim Minister. Because the role of IIM is extremely demanding\, you will need a formal recommendation from your presbytery\, or appropriate synod staff or committee chairperson to enrol (Referee Form can be found below with the Application Form). \n  \nFTM – C is a four day program designed to provide information and experiences that will be helpful to people who plan to function in a congregational leadership role especially during a time of clerical transition or other major period of upheaval- like a global pandemic\, or a radically new mission opportunity. In FTM C you will identify tools for use in congregations that will empower them to negotiate transition times with greater patience\, wisdom and hope. \n  \nSatisfactory completion of FTM-C involves a supervised project. Given that the course content is useful for anyone in ministry\, you may enrol and not participate in the assessment/fieldwork component. However\, to be an accredited Intentional Interim Minister you need to complete the more formal application process\, assessment and fieldwork. \n  \nLink to course application form: \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fjsf3AMEpt_8vta0VntdNnOc1ttzZcDprujDfjpN79o/edit# \nCost: \n$220 – Early bird (available until July 9th) \n$250 – General (after July 9th) \n  \nRegistrations close on July 27\, 2022 \n  \nLimited accommodation is available onsite at Maclean House. To book or for further information regarding accommodation please contact the Centre for Theology and Ministry on 03 9340 8800 or email macleanhouse.ctm.uca.edu.au \n  \nTo register\, click here

SUMMARY:Talking theologically about... preaching
DESCRIPTION:The idea of this gathering emerged from some informal musings amongst UCA ministers about expanding the opportunities for theological conversations. It is hoped that this will be the first of several similar events. \nOn this occasion\, the theme will be preaching\, with conversation-starter presentations from Rev Dr Craig Thompson and Rev Assoc Prof Robyn Whitaker. \nBeginning with the observation\, attributed to Stravinski\, that “Vivaldi did not write 400 concertos; he wrote once concerto 400 times\,” Craig will explore whether there is something constant about preaching when everything else is changing. \nWith reference to the legacy of Albrecht Dürer’s Apocalypse woodcuts on the reception of the book of Revelation\, Robyn will address how preaching engages popular understandings of biblical texts. \n  \nTo register\, click here
