Missiology Lectures 2021

Re-envisioning the Mission of Health: A Global Invitation to Heal and Thrive in Crisis
October 27–29, 2021
The church has been engaged in healing since its inception, although understandings of health have shifted significantly over the centuries. The 21st-century global health crises call the church to once again examine and redefine its role. The Missiology Lectures 2021 will be a global, multidisciplinary exploration of the mission of creating healthy individuals, families, communities, and societies, and the church’s role in this process. To this task, Fuller Seminary’s School of Mission and Theology brings its ongoing commitment to global church dialogue, along with the holistic research from the Thrive Center in the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy. This will be an online conference with a node in Ghana for participants in African and European time zones. In addition to an online chapel service, six plenary sessions, and three open dialogue sessions with thematically focused small groups, there will be online access to exhibitors offering resources. For more information, visit fuller.edu/missiology.

In this APAHM chapel message, Jonathan Tran (associate professor of philosophical theology and George W. Baines Chair of Religion, Baylor University) shares his story of trying to find a home in America as a Vietnamese war refugee. He will share different parts of his journey in America and how Christianity gave him a way of negotiating the many challenges that come with immigrant Asian American life. He will close with a few comments on the state of American antiracism, and the temptations and opportunities American racial politics presents.

The lecture will argue that it is from this precarious position that the Asian American church offers a surprising way forward past our racial culture wars.

Payton Lectures 2022
2022-05-12 09:00 - 2022-05-13 13:30 | Travis Auditorium, 180 N. Oakland Avenue, Pasadena, CA, 90010, United States
Embodied Theological Education in a (Dis)Embodied Age
May 12–13, 2022
What is the future of theological education in a digital age? What, more specifically, does the physical body gain or lose in a future marked by a preponderance of online classes? And if we assume that the future of theological education is more, rather than less, digital, how might we anticipate such a future not with naïveté or fear but with sober-minded wisdom?
The 2022 Payton Lectures, hosted by Fuller’s School of Mission and Theology, aim to address these very questions. Nine scholars will explore the conference theme from the perspective of their respective field of study—including psychology, ethics, missiology, homiletics, pastoral theology, biblical, intercultural, and Chicana/o studies—and will share a draft of their paper with conference participants in advance of the gathering. Different from previous iterations of the Payton Lectures, the aim of this year’s conference is to create a pedagogically rich environment for both presenters and participants, which, in turn, might invigorate the teaching practices of seminary and divinity school faculty and form students in holistic ways for service in the concrete contexts of their lives—including their digitally mediated lives.
This event is free and open to the public; registration is required. The event will be held virtually and in-person on Fuller’s campus, however, please note that in-person attendance is limited. Visit the website to learn more.
*Live translation is no longer being offered at this event.
