Joseph G. Mueller. Our celebration will be supported by an accompanist and choir. Since his passing in January 2023, some people have mentioned that they wish they could still be the beneficiary of his wise counsel and others have mentioned that they seek his intercession. For that reason, we have included on the frame the phrase from Genesis 41:55: Ite ad Joseph. Go to Joseph. The portrait, a work of alumnus Fr. Jonathan Harmon, SJ, was donated by the Jesuit Community.

Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary | 2024 Luther Lecture"When Ethics Kills: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Story of Us" | Dr. Reggie WilliamsWednesday, March 20, 2024 | 10:00 am | 2000 Center Street, Suite 200 Berkeley, CA In-Person Registration | Online Registration The real challenges we face in our work to cultivate healthy community and human flourishing are not the ones that typically catch our attention and focus our efforts. The problems are more than the overt injustices; they exist as unidentified, and thus, intractable, presumptions that animate our efforts towards the good. Dietrich Bonhoeffer offers an example of this challenge. He offers a sincere and lasting Christian response to the crisis in Germany that was contrast to the near wholesale acquiescence that was common among the general protestant German population. Yet, he also struggled with a common presumption, the problem of the human, i.e. an ideal to which we aspire without question. In this lecture we will take a brief look at this problem by looking at Bonhoeffer’s effort, with the help of the Black Radical Tradition as exemplified by Cedric Robinson.

Deep Inculturation: Global Voices on Christian Faith and Indigenous GeniusMonday, March 25 | 12:00 PM CDT (10:00 AM PDT) | RSVP Here Traditionally, inculturation has referred to a strategy employed by Western missionaries to evangelize non-Christian cultures. But what does this look like from the other side, from the perspective of indigenous cultures of the Global South and immigrant-heritage cultures in the interstices of dominant cultures? Deep Inculturation features original essays by seven leading global theologians with a focus on what this inculturation looks like in particular contexts: Africa, Mexico, Japan, Australia, and Indonesia. Join us in celebrating the launch of this important collection, edited by CTU's own Dr. Antonio D. Sison, CPPS SCU Events
