Speaking at the upcoming Ritz Lectures

On October 18th, Winebrenner Theological Seminary will host their annual Ritz Lectures.  The featured speaker will be Dr. John H. Armstrong of Act 3 (Facebook)  The Ritz Lectures theme for this year will be the same as Dr. Armstrong’s newest book, Your Church is too Small (Zondervan 2010).  I will also be joining Dr. Armstrong and lecturing for one session on the development of ecumenical discussion in the history of Christianity (my specialization).

In his book, Armstrong argues for an ecumenical Christianity—a unity across all “social, cultural, racial, and denominational” boundaries—that resembles the vision Jesus offers in John 7:20-21.  Dr. Armstrong’s optimistic perspective bears the marks of one who celebrates being a Christian and welcomes a day in which sectarian and fundamentalist divisions no longer divide the church.  I will have complete registration information available once it is posted to Winebrenner’s website.
