SUMMARY:Lecture: “Hyo” and The Public Sphere: An Asian American Public Theology of Family
DESCRIPTION:Korean theologian Sung Bum Yun contrasts Western and Eastern approaches to ethics; the Western locates reason as the source of universal values and emphasizes individual duty\, the Eastern underscores principles governing interpersonal relationships. Yun then identifies family as the starting point for Christian ethics\, specifically focusing on the father-son relationship in Confucian thought\, and the notion of filial piety (hyo in Korean) which provides a sense of public order and parallels the relationship between God the Father with his only-begotten. While the German theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg is not a Confucian thinker\, and his preference for “freedom\, love\, and equality” over “humility\, order\, and peace\,” is more Western than Eastern\, the speaker will argue that the filial hyo the Son shows to the Father may have constitutive significance for Pannenberg’s understanding of the Trinity. Confucian filial piety\, similar to the Father-Son relationship in Pannenberg’s immanent and economic trinities\, assumes that the father cannot be the father without the son and the son cannot be the son without the father. Following this\, the father-son relationship becomes the foundation for public ethics. Drawing on the concepts of Trinity and Hyo\, this lecture will discuss an Asian American public theology of the family\, noting the formative significance of the Asian American family\, and the new family of the Asian American body of Christ. This public theology centered around the Trinitarian hyo will also note feminist critiques of patriarchy\, universal reason. The lecture will also discuss another (possibly alternative) familial concept\, Jeong (love)\, offering insights for public-minded Asian Americans located in liminal spaces navigating their Western and Eastern sensibilities. \nAbout the Speaker: Jae Yang is a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in the Religion Department at Calvin University. He is the author of many articles around topics of systematic theology\, the theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg\, Asian American theology\, and public theology. He is the author of the book\, Christianity Outside the Church: Pannenberg’s Public Theology in Dialogue with Max Stackhouse.

SUMMARY:Bahrain Missions Monday Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register.\n\n\nJoin Prof. Albert Strydhorst and RCA missionary Rev. Blaine Newhouse for a Missions Monday Lunch on April 22 at 12:20 PM – 1:20 PM in the Upper Room.  Rev. Newhouse is serving in Bahrain with the English Language Congregation (ELC) of the National Evangelical Church of Bahrain. He writes\, “God has taken the seeds planted in the Arabian Gulf by missionary pioneers such as Samuel and Amy Zwemer more than a century ago and allowed them to flourish in our day.  At present\, the ELC worships with upwards of 1\,000 members from 60 different nations. We are hopeful to build on the favor God has given in this part of the world to plant additional churches and to expand this unique ministry in the Kingdom of Bahrain.  Our prayer continues to be for God to lead us to a person or persons of unique gifting with a heart for global mission and an openness to serve in the Middle East…\, (even with) the English Language Congregation of the National Evangelical Church.”  Come for lunch\, bring your questions\, and be challenged by what God is doing in this part of the world.

SUMMARY:Recovering Our Love of the Real
DESCRIPTION:Many people feel that reality is just impersonal\, indifferent\, and meaningless\, only grist for society’s pragmatic utility and scaling of power and mastery. It’s the stuff we consume\, stuff with which I can do whatever I want. Even religious people sometimes devalue the world as irreligious\, spiritually inferior\, or a temptation to idolatry. But perhaps involvement with reality is just what we humans were meant for. \nIn her recent book Doorway to Artistry\, Esther Lightcap Meek suggests that these implicit beliefs about reality are the legacy of modernism\, our culture’s defining outlook. Their adverse impact is life-wide\, but they especially wreak havoc for the artful and thwart creative efforts. Meek argues that we must attune our philosophy to recover our love of the real\, enhance our creativity\, and bring healing to all things\, including our very selves. \nJoin for this lecture (in person or by livestream–link added one week before lecture) in which Prof. Meek will speak about the meaning and benefits of “philosophical attunement.” \nSpeaker: Esther Lightcap Meek \nSponsored & Hosted by the Calvin Institute on Christian Worship

SUMMARY:Can We Flourish Together When Some are Left Out? Intellectual Disability and Care in Our Churches
DESCRIPTION:American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin wrote\, “History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us” (I Am Not Your Negro). Our current reality is shaped by the histories that have led us here\, and we can’t seek to build a better future without taking seriously where we are now. So thinking about how people with intellectual disabilities should be treated in the church—what our ministries with\, to\, and from people with disabilities should be like—requires us to think carefully about the past and present in ways that are perhaps unpleasant. Many people with intellectual disabilities\, their families\, and their caregivers do not presently feel welcome in local congregations because of the history of cultural and social exclusion of those with such disabilities. \nHelping people realize they are valued requires our congregations to make clear that they do not simply welcome or accept people with disabilities but recognize that their ministry is insufficient without them. Making sure others feel this is one way of caring for them. In this talk\, I’ll explore how such care requires not only repenting for past exclusion but also thinking beyond mere ministries or programming for people with intellectual disabilities. We also must confront the history of exclusion that shapes the reality of their lives beyond church walls and help people get all the resources they need in order to flourish. Only then can we flourish together. \nJoin for this lecture (in person or by livestream–link added one week before lecture) in which Prof. Timpe will speak about the meaning and benefits of flourishing together in the Church. \nSpeaker: Kevin Timpe \nSponsored & Hosted by the Calvin Institute on Christian Worship
