How to Share a Common Life with Others | Walter Kim

Lecture Title - Loving God and a Catechesis of Civic Discipleship Today’s moral and social challenges are complex, and Christians are often ill-equipped to address the disruptions and disputes of ideological battles. Malformed responses to the challenges expose not only deficiencies of theological imagination but also a frailty of discipleship. How does Scripture encompass culture and human flourishing as an essential aspect of faith? In response to theological reflection, we will explore practices of discipleship—a catechesis of civic discipleship—that seek to be faithful to a distinctive Christian identity and to foster a rich life in common with others in our pluralistic society. Walter Kim (PhD Harvard University) is President of the National Association of Evangelicals. He previously served as a pastor at Boston’s historic Park Street Church and at churches in Vancouver, Canada and Charlottesville, VA. He preaches, writes, and engages in collaborative leadership to connect the Bible to the intellectual and cultural issues of the day. The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
