Announcement: The Beloved Community in Exile

From the North American Seminary:

We are pleased to announce the details for our first in-person Open Course since before the pandemic! Beloved Community in Exile will take place Monday, May 30th – Friday, June 3rd at the seminary in Toronto, Canada. Coinciding with this event will be a Seminary Extension Course, a mirror event hosted by the Seminary Extension Course team in the Spring Valley, NY area. And finally, there is the possibility of participating in three of the offerings each day online. This is the first time we’ve attempted such a broad and inclusive hybrid event! We hope it will be a true expression of the times we live in; an opportunity to strengthen and build the beloved community, despite the challenges we face.

We encourage you to click on the registration links to explore the details of the offerings in each location and the online ‘space.’ It is important to note for our online participants that only the morning presentations coming from the seminary will be recorded each day and made available for 48 hours. We hope you understand our decision is based on the nature of this year’s theme and what we are trying to build together over the course of the week. Everyone who registers can expect to receive a packet of support materials the week before the course begins.

Any extra monies received will be directed to the Seminary Publishing Team, who are fundraising to print 200 copies each of our three latest books: Prayer; Faith, Love, and Hope; and Reverent Devotion. More to come on the exciting work of the publishing team!

Thank you for all you do to support The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America!

News from the Seminary Directors

Dear Friends,
We have some exciting news to announce from our Seminary Directors, Jonah and Patrick! Given the extraordinary situation our congregations are experiencing world-wide, Patrick and Jonah are offering a daily podcast called ‘The Road to Emmaus’ during this Eastertide season. For the next 40 days (with the exception of Saturdays), they will be posting a new audio recording on the platform Patreon under the creator name ‘The Light in Every Thing.’

Patreon is an international platform created in 2013 specifically to connect artists/creators with those individuals who find value in their work and are willing to provide an income stream so they can continue creating. There are currently over 100,000 creators receiving financial support from over 3 million patrons each month. Our Seminary monthly subscription ranges from $3 to $40.

The Road to Emmaus – Episode 1 is open to the general public and available now by clicking this link. Going forward, future podcasts will be available to patrons who are willing to make a minimum monthly contribution of $3. The first podcast will remain unlocked, so feel free to share it with others who you think may be interested.

Seeing Christ Through 20th Century Art

the-lamb-by-paul-kleeLooking back to the twentieth century, we see mankind go collectively through a profound crisis.  We entered a dark abyss.  Out of the darkness Christ revealed himself anew.  Traces of this event are reflected in the art and artists who lived through it.  In this course we will learn to see these traces.

Join the seminary in Chestnut Ridge, New York for this open course with seminary directors Revs. Bastiaan Baan and Patrick Kennedy and artist Regine Kurek: December 12 – 16, 2016.
