CTU’s 15th Annual World Mission Lecture: “Biblical Insights for Mission in a New Global Context,” Presented by Dianne Bergant, C.S.A.

All are welcome on Monday, March 8, 2010 at 4 p.m. for CTU’s 15th Annual World Mission Lecture, “Biblical Insights for Mission in a New Global Context.” Presented by Dianne Bergant, C.S.A., Professor of Old Testament Studies and the author of more than two dozen books, the lecture will examine the shift in understanding mission which is taking place today. The betterment of human life and the redemption of human beings, the focus of much of our mission activity, is now enhanced by being placed within the broader context of the “transfiguration of the whole of creation.” If the mission of God includes all of creation, and if our duty toward nature is an essential part of our faith, what might this ecosensitive mission of God require of us today?

The lecture will take place in the Academic and Conference Center, 5416 South Cornell Avenue, Chicago. Complimentary parking is available in the CTU garage, and the presentation will be followed by a reception.
