Theological Reflections: Doing Theology
Shortly after the the School of Ministry began in July 2004, our Dean, the Rev. Dr. Leon Spencer, initiated this series of brief theological reflections entitled Doing theology.

 

Theological Reflections:  Doing Theology

 

Please find the most recent reflection, called Process, written by Dean Spencer.  This is the second in a series of three reflections on life-long Christian formation as the Dean has applied these topics to the work of the School of Ministry. The First was on Substance and the third, on Answers.

Exploring a theology of food:  The theme of this DVD has to do with how food intersects with our faith lives. Food might seem like a strange (even boring?) topic for church study. We know that God calls us to worship, to pray, and to engage in acts of charity toward the poor. But does God really care if we eat pasta or beef for dinner?

 

Toward a missionary diocese: The theme of this DVD has to do with the saying that we have heard in the Diocese of North Carolina for some years: “A missionary diocese… living God’s dream by making disciples and making a difference.” As time passes such phrases sometimes merely become familiar words that have lost their power. And yet, there is deep meaning to this vision, and these DVDs are designed to help us reflect afresh about “living God’s dream.” What do these words mean to us? To our congregations? What do we need to do to make this vision a reality?
