SUMMARY:Christians without Borders: Toward a Trespassing Church
DESCRIPTION:Campolo Fellows Lecture Series with Rev. Dr. George Mason \nMarch 25\, 2019 – St. Davids\, PA – The Campolo Center for Ministry is pleased to announce our final Visiting Campolo Fellow of the 2018-2019 Campolo Fellows Lecture Series. The Rev. Dr. George Mason is a public theologian and senior pastor at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas\, TX\, where he has served since 1989. The full schedule of Dr Mason’s sermons and talks\, including his lecture\, Christians without Borders: Toward a Trespassing Church\, is listed below. \nThe Campolo Fellows Lecture Series is generously underwritten by our friends at the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation. We’d love to see you there! These event are on the campus of Eastern University and Palmer Theological Seminary and open to the public. All are welcome\, please direct question and RSVP to campolocenter@eastern.edu or 610-341-1715. \nGeorge is a nationally recognized leader among Baptists\, serving the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship\, New Baptist Covenant\, Duke Divinity School\, along with other local and global ecumenical and interfaith endeavors. He is a frequent op-ed contributor to the Dallas Morning News on subjects of public interest that intersect religion\, such as public education\, race relations and predatory lending. He writes a monthly column on public theology for the Lakewood/East Dallas and Lake Highlands editions of the community news magazine The Advocate. \nHis September 2018 sermon addressing the killing of Botham Jean and the problem of white churches not speaking up alongside black churches for justice\, received national attention. “If we want to call ourselves by the name of Jesus\, we have to stop defending things he would condemn\,” Dr. Mason admonished. View a short clip of the sermon here: \n \nAt Wilshire\, he founded and directs the pastoral residency program that has become a model for other congregations nationwide. His book\, Preparing the Pastors We Need: Reclaiming the Congregation’s Role in Training Clergy\, was published in 2012. One of his passions is encouraging those whom God has called into vocational ministry and we’re privileged to have him mentor the Campolo Scholars for three days. \nGeorge earned a bachelor of business administration degree in 1978 from the University of Miami (Florida)\, where he was a quarterback on the football team. He holds both the master of divinity (1982) and doctor of philosophy (1987) degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth\, Texas. His doctoral field of study was systematic theology\, with a minor in philosophy of religion. \nA native of New York City\, George has been married to his wife\, Kim\, since 1979. They have three children: daughter Cameron is married to Garrett Vickrey\, a pastor in San Antonio\, and they have three daughters; son Rhett is married to Callie and is manager of the real estate division of the Dr Pepper Snapple company in Plano\, and they have one son; daughter Jillian is married to Chris Shannon and is an actress in New York City; they have one son. \nCAMPOLO FELLOWS LECTURE SERIES SCHEDULE \nWEDNESDAY\, APRIL 24\, 2019  \n10-10:50 am Eastern University Chapel – Gym (Open to the public\, all are welcome) Streamed live HERE \nText and Title: Mark 8: 27-38 The Quintessence of a Christian or Why We Have To Stop Defending Things Jesus Would Condemn.  \nWhat is the mark\, the essential characteristic of a follower of Jesus that makes clear that we belong to him as his disciples? Our temptation to make it into a mere confession of faith in his identity as the Christ must be tied to our willingness to join him in his suffering mission of love for the world. Jesus’ passion must be seen in our compassion. Empathy that allows us to deny self for the sake of others shows that we understand the gospel. \n12 pm Lunch with Campolo Scholars\, faculty\, staff and guests – Walton Hall\, Baird Library \nTHURSDAY\, APRIL 25\, 2019 \n4:30-6 pm Systematic Theology with Dr. Donald Brash\, Palmer Theological Seminary – McInnis Hall 251 \nGuest Lecture and Discussion: God’s Freedom as Faithfulness: A Critique of Juergen Moltmann’s Social Trinitarianism and social and ecclesial implications \n6-7 pm\, Devotion and Dinner with Campolo Scholars\, Seminary students\, faculty\, staff and guests \nFRIDAY\, APRIL 26\, 2019  \n10-10:50 am Windows on the World Lecture – McInnis Auditorium (Open to public\, all are welcome) \nTitle: Christians without Borders: Toward a Trespassing Church \nIn a time when the world lauds groups like Doctors without Borders\, which goes everywhere and anywhere to bring lifesaving treatment and bear witness to human atrocities\, we hear too many Christians these days defending the borders of nation-states and remaining silent about political cruelty\, economic injustice and religious discrimination. Some Evangelical Christians defend the principles of the modern nation-state\, along with hallmarks of it such as nationalism\, militarism and capitalism\, as if these carry biblical authority. The consequences in human misery are seen on the southern border of the US\, the intractable stalemate in the Holy Land\, and the sweatshops of southeast Asia\, to name but a few. Naming idolatry is the first step in repentance\, but the fruits of repentance will be seen in renewed commitment to a kind of spiritual transnationalism that at the same time honors diverse cultures and promotes full human dignity and flourishing in the name of Jesus. \n11:30 am Luncheon and Moderated Q & A – Walton Hall\, Baird Library

SUMMARY:Life is but a Dream: A Senior Thesis Performance
DESCRIPTION:“Art as ministry is about looking at things more deeply\,” explains Ellen Miller\, a working artist and co-facilitator of the Visual Arts Ministry (VAM) of Ben Hill United Methodist Church in Atlanta\, Georgia. “God is the original artist and has given us gifts of creativity. It is the responsibility of artists to tell the good news with their art.” We\, made in the image of God the Creator\, can be artists\, using our creativity to serve God by working toward shalom (peace\, harmony\, wholeness) in the world. \nEmily Pastin is a Campolo Scholar graduating from Eastern University this May with a degree in Dance. She believes (and we agree!) the fine and performing arts can be used for and to reflect the glory of God. Emily will be performing her Senior Dance Thesis\, Life is but a Dream\, this weekend in the McInnis Auditorium. If you live in the area\, we hope you’ll join us to see this multi-talented Campolo Scholar showcase her creativity and the artistic gifts that she has been blessed with by God. \nSenior Dance Thesis Performance by Campolo Scholar\, Emily Pastin \n \nTitle: Life is but a Dream \nSummary: Be joyful in hope\, patient in affliction\, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 \nRomans 12:12 has been a significant verse in my life over the last four years as I began to meditate on it during my freshman year. “Life is but a Dream” is an artistic portrayal of all that humans experience in a life that is fleeting\, as a good and everlasting God works in and through every moment to show us His truth and perfect love. Through the playfulness of childhood\, growing with family\, stepping out into the world for the first time\, finding love\, and experiencing pain\, I have seen His goodness in each moment as I have worked to continuously commit my life to Him by staying joyful in hope\, patient in affliction\, and faithful in prayer. \n
