Mini Bishop's Convocation / Pop-Up Learning Party!

Friday, Sept. 19, 9am to 12:30pm at Advent Lutheran Church, Mill Creek (or zoom!)

(bonus: go to lunch afterward with colleagues)

Cost: $25 (this also counts as continuing education)

 All NW Washington rostered leaders and SALMs are invited to join Dr. Eric Barreto for conversation and connection on Friday, September 19.

Dr. Barreto, who serves as the Frederick and Margaret L. Weyerhaeuser Associate Professor of New Testament at Princeton Seminary, will host a round table workshop and discussion with rostered leaders & SALMs in an informal setting. This is a chance to bring your questions about the complexities we all are navigating in ministry today: Christian nationalism, global majority perspectives, anti-racism work in spiritual leadership, and how we’re navigating competing theological streams emerging around us.

As many of you know, Dr. Barreto's scholarship consistently connects biblical studies with the real challenges facing our churches and world. His upcoming publications, "All of You Are One": Paul and the Construction of Ethnic Theologies and "A People for God's Name": Theology and Ethnicity in the Acts of the Apostles, speak directly to questions many of us are wrestling with.

There will be light refreshments, and you can choose to join us in person or connect virtually through Zoom.

Since Dr. Barreto will be leading our Saturday LiVE Project retreat the next day, this Friday conversation gives us extra time to dig deeper into his insights. His accessible approach will be a blessing to our congregational leaders, and there is still time for you and your congregation to sign up for the Saturday retreat.
