The historic event known as Lectureship is becoming a Summit of ideas for mission and ministry.  Summit is a conversation where life and faith converge in Christ.  Through participation in this conversation we intend to challenge and equip people to live as ministers in their real world lives.

Our 2008 theme is "The Righteousness of God: Exploring Romans."  The Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans is the touchstone epistle of the New Testament, yet it is due for a dramatic new hearing in this third millennium.

The dominate refrain "the Righteousness of God" is a central theological concept.  Righteousness is both a gift that God gives us and a way of life that God enables us to live.  In this definitive work, Paul joins God in uniting disparate races and religions to worship the one God expressed as Jesus.   The Jew and Gentile controversy represents the difficulty of God's people grasping the worldwide mission of God.

You will see how Contemporary Christians are embracing God's mission today in new ways.  Plan to join us for the 91st installment of the new Lectureship, now called Summit.  Come enter the conversation about how life and faith collide in everyday reality of God's mission.
