The two big boxes into which most Americans try to fit\, and sometimes force\, their faith are “conservative” and “progressive.” Like any labels\, these are both defining and restrictive. What might be possible if the church returned to the big tent philosophy of both/and\, determined to be a church of Spirit and Truth? \n\n\nThe complete list of the Visiting Campolo Fellows and their sermons and talks this Spring semester can be found here:  https://campolocenter.org/campolo-fellows-lecture-series-spring-2019/ \n\nIf you have any questions about the speakers or would like more details of these events\, please don’t hesitate to contact\, Campolo Center Executive Director\, Robert Gauthier directly at rgauthier [at] eastern [dot] edu or 610-341-1715.\n\nWHAT IS THE CAMPOLO CENTER?\nEastern University launched the Campolo Center for Ministry on July 1\, 2014 to institutionalize and honor Tony and Peggy Campolo\, each distinguished alumni\, who have dedicated themselves to faithfully bearing witness to the Good News of the Gospel in their private and public lives. \n\nWHO ARE CAMPOLO SCHOLARS?\nThe Campolo Center seeks to identify\, recruit\, financially support and mentor students who demonstrate a calling\, giftedness and commitment to vocational Christian service in a church or para-church ministry.  We are committed to partnering with dedicated\, spiritually-gifted\, ministry-focused students\, their family and home church\, Eastern University and its network of donors. These partnership relationships will invest in the education\, training and spiritual formation of servant-leaders for the church and para-church ministries. \nIt is the vision of Tony and Peggy Campolo and a goal of the Campolo Center that Campolo Scholars graduate with as little student debt as possible. The goal is that these future leaders can fulfill their calling to vocational Christian ministry unencumbered by the burden of needing to repay student loans.  To that end\, the Campolo Center offers generous scholarships to students admitted into the Campolo Scholars Program. \nWHO ARE CAMPOLO FELLOWS?\nIt is also priority to encourage\, inspire and mentor the Campolo Scholars during their formative years at Eastern.  To that end\, we launched the Campolo Fellows Lecture Series to introduce the Campolo Scholars to faith- and thought-leaders influenced and inspired by Tony and Peggy\, who share their vision for a holistic gospel that combines a personal commitment to Jesus and the pursuit of social justice.  These leading communicators and practitioners of the faith are asked to engage the entire Eastern community in public forums and meet with\, encourage and mentor the Campolo Scholars to use their gifts and training for the benefit the Church of Jesus Christ and all of God’s people. \n

SUMMARY:The Good\, the Bad and the Complicated Realities of the First Amendment’s Religion Clauses
DESCRIPTION:Campolo Fellows Lecture Series with Amanda Tyler\n \nSt. Davids\, PA – The Campolo Center for Ministry is pleased to welcome our second Visiting Campolo Fellow of the Spring 2019 Campolo Fellows Lecture Series to the campus of Eastern University and Palmer Theological Seminary.  The Campolo Fellows Lecture Series for Spring 2019 is generously underwritten by our friends at the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation. We’d love to see you there! These event are open to the public.  Please RSVP to campolocenter@eastern.edu or 610-341-1715. \nAmanda Tyler is executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty. She leads the organization as it upholds the historic Baptist principle of religious liberty\, defending the free exercise of religion and protecting against its establishment by government. Tyler has earned degrees from Georgetown University and University of Texas School of Law.  Called a “powerful advocate” and “rising star in the sector” by The Nonprofit Times\, she was named one of the nation’s top 50 nonprofit leaders in 2018. A member of the Texas and U.S. Supreme Court Bar\, Tyler has experience working in Congress\, in a private legal practice and serving as a law clerk for a federal judge. \nTyler has said the following about her service with BJC: \n“I feel called by God to do this work. There are many challenges and opportunities surrounding our First Freedom\, such as increasing religious pluralism and the unease it can bring. The Baptist Joint Committee\, with its rich history and deep expertise\, is uniquely positioned to be a voice for all people who want to defend and extend God-given religious liberty for generations to come. I truly believe that our entire world has never needed the BJC as much as it does right now\, and there is no limit to what God can do through us to preserve religious liberty for all of God’s children.” \nCAMPOLO FELLOWS LECTURE SERIES SCHEDULE WITH AMANDA TYLER  \nThursday\, March 21st  \n11:30 AM: Guest Lecturer/Discussion in Constitutional Law with Dr. Alexios Alexander \n1 PM: Lunch with Students\, Faculty\, Staff and Guests in the Dining Commons \n6 PM: Chapel and Chew with Palmer Theological Seminary: McInnis 251 (RSVP requested) \n7:30 PM:  Amanda Tyler: UP Close: Baird Library (Refreshments served\, RSVP requested) Please join us for a moderated conversation with Amanda Tyler about calling and vocation\, faith and law\, and life lessons on leadership.   \nFriday\, March 22nd \n10 AM: Windows on the World Lecture\, McInnis Auditorium \n11:30 AM: Luncheon and Q & A\, Baird Library \nThe Good\, the Bad and the Complicated Realities of the First Amendment’s Religion Clauses \nSummary: The first 16 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protect religious liberty in a unique way that has served the country well\, guarding against violent inter-religious conflict that has plagued –and continues to plague – many other parts of the globe. Yet both in the past and present\, the United States has failed to live up to the Constitution’s ideals of freedom for all. In this lecture\, Tyler will survey the history of how our Constitution protects religious freedom\, exploring the contributions of colonial Baptists to its language\, and discuss some of its shortcomings as interpreted and applied by the U.S. Supreme Court. She will highlight some of the most complicated and nuanced areas of concern for religious liberty today\, including what we even mean we say “religious freedom.”

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

SUMMARY:Campolo Fellows Lecture Series: Chapel with Eastern Alum\, Dr. Bishop Donald Hilliard\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Eastern University has a long history of developing Christian faith- and thought-leaders (e.g. Tony Campolo\, Brenda Salter McNeil\, Shane Claiborne\, Bryan Stevenson\, just to name a few) who are impacting the world with the Good News of the Whole Gospel.  When Tony talks about former students of his who spent their formative college years studying and preparing for ministry at Eastern University and are now setting an example of Christian leadership\, he always includes Dr. Bishop Don Hilliard at the top of the list. \n\nWhen we launched the Campolo Fellows Lecture Series\, made possible by a generous grant from the Baugh Family Foundation\, Tony encouraged us to invite Dr. Hilliard back to his alma mater so he could challenge and inspire the Campolo Scholars and the larger Eastern Community.  We’re honored to have Dr. Hilliard preach in our chapel service this morning and look forward to him mentoring\, teaching and encouraging the Campolo Scholars throughout the semester. \n\nBishop Donald Hilliard\, Jr. serves as the senior pastor of Cathedral International—The Historic Second Baptist Church in Perth Amboy\, NJ. Dr. Hilliard’s willingness to “Say Yes!” to the Lord has fostered his ability to provide leadership in the exponential growth of the church over the last 35 years. Now\, “One Church in Four Locations\,” Cathedral International has expanded its ministry to serve the specific needs of four different locations in New Jersey: Cathedral International in Perth Amboy\, Cathedral International in Asbury Park\, Cathedral International in Plainfield\, and Iglesia Catedral in Perth Amboy. Cited by the American Baptist Churches (USA) as a model for church growth\, Cathedral International is a multifaceted\, relevant church that has grown exponentially throughout the years. Through the facilitation of the gospel via Live Stream\, Cathedral International now reaches thousands of homes across the globe. In the near future\, Cathedral International anticipates building a new campus in Cranbury\, NJ on 98 acres of land. \nDr. Hilliard’s transformational mindset is reflected in the numerous community development initiatives established under his leadership. He is the Founder and CEO of the Cathedral Community Development Corporation (CCDC)\, an umbrella organization providing a variety of outreach services to the local community. The “Cathedral Community Counseling Center”\, a professional clinical counseling center\, provides mental health support for both the church and the community. These services are provided by Masters and Doctoral level therapists. The “Cathedral Family Life Center” houses a banquet center\, library and a creative dance center and Sunday School. Cathedral International has been cited by the city and the state as a major catalyst for the renewal and development of the City of Perth Amboy. \nDr. Hilliard is the author of 14 books on a variety of relevant topics. His most recent books\, “Midlife\, Manhood\, & Ministry\,” was released April 2013 and “55 and Counting\,” was released in November 2013. To purchase additional books log on to amazon.com or donaldhilliardjr.org. \nA 2002 and 2013 Hampton Ministers Conference speaker\, Bishop Hilliard has ministered at various churches\, conferences\, and conventions across the United States and internationally. Vision Casting\, birthed out of Bishop Hilliard’s call to serve visionaries and dreamers\, is a motivational-action company formed to encourage Executive leadership to pursue life with also a power motivational speaker\, and a disciplined mindset for success. \nIn 2006 after a life-threatening illness\, Dr. Hilliard reinvented himself again by resurrecting his gift of painting by creating original pieces of art through his abstract expressionistic company\, Pulpit to the Palate Art.  His premier collections of over 70 original pieces include the recently exhibited “Let Go\, Let Gesture: Abstract Ascension” series at the Dragonfly Fine Arts Gallery in Martha’s Vineyard as well as “Divine Liturgy in Abstract” and “From the Pulpit to the Palate” series.

SUMMARY:Campolo Scholars Fellowship with Rev. Dr. Bishop Donald Hilliard Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Dr. Bishop Donald Hilliard Jr. meets with the Campolo scholars for their weekly Monday Meetings. \nEastern University has a long history of developing Christian faith- and thought-leaders (e.g. Tony Campolo\, Brenda Salter McNeil\, Shane Claiborne\, Bryan Stevenson\, just to name a few) who are impacting the world with the Good News of the Whole Gospel.  When Tony talks about former students of his who spent their formative college years studying and preparing for ministry at Eastern University and are now setting an example of Christian leadership\, he always includes Dr. Bishop Don Hilliard at the top of the list. \nDr. Hilliard will flesh out some of the ideas he introduced at Eastern’s chapel service on September 9th (e.g. crossing over\, creativity\, changing the narrative) and other practical insights he’s learned for effective\, transformative ministry in the 21st Century and particularly the current American context of covid\, reanimated and emboldened racism and white supremacy\, growing economic divide and despair\, Biblical and theological illiteracy\, etc.   \n\nWhat is the role of the church in such a time\, under such circumstances?\nWhat are some successes that have been implemented at Cathedral International?\nWhat are some lessons learned from a failure\, set back or challenge?\nHow did his experience at Eastern shape and prepare him for prophetic leadership?\nDid studying sociology with Tony provide the insight and tools for analyzing and engaging culture more effectively for ministry?\nDoes he have courses/disciplines of study\, books and other resources to recommend to students preparing for ministry?\n\nBiography \nBishop Donald Hilliard\, Jr. serves as the senior pastor of Cathedral International—The Historic Second Baptist Church in Perth Amboy\, NJ. Dr. Hilliard’s willingness to “Say Yes!” to the Lord has fostered his ability to provide leadership in the exponential growth of the church over the last 35 years. Now\, “One Church in Four Locations\,” Cathedral International has expanded its ministry to serve the specific needs of four different locations in New Jersey: Cathedral International in Perth Amboy\, Cathedral International in Asbury Park\, Cathedral International in Plainfield\, and Iglesia Catedral in Perth Amboy. Cited by the American Baptist Churches (USA) as a model for church growth\, Cathedral International is a multifaceted\, relevant church that has grown exponentially throughout the years. Through the facilitation of the gospel via Live Stream\, Cathedral International now reaches thousands of homes across the globe. In the near future\, Cathedral International anticipates building a new campus in Cranbury\, NJ on 98 acres of land…

SUMMARY:Campolo Scholars Fellowship with Jon and Michelle Galdames-Henry
DESCRIPTION:CCM alums\, Jon and Michelle Galdames-Henry join the Campolo scholars for their weekly Monday Meetings. \nBiography\n \nAfter graduating in May 2019 and marrying in June\, Jon and Michelle Galdames-Henry moved to Northern Virginia to begin ministering at Abiding Presence Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Burke\, VA. Michelle serves as the Children and Family Minister and Jon as the Youth and Family Minister. They love the beautiful community of people they serve – who have warmly embraced them – and are thankful for the incredible blessing of ministering together. Thanks to the support of donors like you\, we can offer generous scholarships for students dedicated to serve in ministry like Jon and Michelle and to help them graduate with little or no debt. This summer\, during a virtual Campolo Scholars reunion event\, Jon shared about the education and training they each received from the Campolo Scholars program at Eastern University. He felt that they had been prepared well for ministry\, and for its challenges – such as Covid-19. Michelle was excited to announce that she’s begun the candidacy to be ordained as a deacon in the ELCA and will begin seminary in January 2021. We look forward to Jon and Michelle leading one of our weekly Campolo Scholar Fellowship meetings this semester and sharing the lessons they’ve learned from doing life and ministry together. \nTopic \n“What Ministry Is Not: Figuring Out What Ministry Actually Looks Like and How to Prepare.”\nWe’ll be using Brene Brown’s “BRAVING” acronym for discussion\, so students should look up what Brene says it stands for and think about how it might tie into everyday ministry. Also\, they should come ready with their wonderings about day-to-day vocational ministry (dealing with volunteers\, budgets\, relationship building\, time management etc).

SUMMARY:Campolo Scholars Fellowship with Rev. Dr. Joseph Modica
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Dr. Joseph Modica meets with the Campolo scholars for their weekly fellowship meeting. \nBiography \nDr. Modica often remarks to students: “One day I couldn’t spell the word ‘chaplain\,’ then the next day\, I became one.”  Dr. Modica’s journey to Eastern University has been a circuitous\, yet enriching one.  Working as a foster care social worker\, attending seminary in Nyack\, NY\, pastoring a church in Queens\, NY\, working with the American Red Cross (Manhattan) Homeless Family Services\, and being a graduate student in New Jersey\, have all shaped his vocation.  He has personally discovered what Frederick Buechner observed when defining the word “vocation”: “The place God calls you to (Eastern University) is the place where your deep gladness (involvement in the lives of college students) and the world’s deep hunger (forming college students for lives of integrity and following Jesus) meet.”  He thanks God each day for this opportunity. \nDr. Modica sees himself primarily as a pastor-scholar: someone who attempts to model a robust gospel\, an ecumenical spirit\, a generous orthodoxy\, a formative hospitality and respectful conversations.
