SUMMARY:Pulpit+ Exchange Presents: Dr. Antony Alumkal
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThe Evening’s Lecture \n“Why Progressive Christianity Isn’t Progressive Enough (And What It Would Take To Fix It)” with Dr. Antony Alumkal\, Associate Professor of Sociology of Religion at the Iliff School of Theology \nThe movement known as Progressive Christianity presents itself as advancing the Christian tradition by integrating cutting-edge knowledge and abandoning the oppressive tendencies of conservative forms of Christianity. But a critical look at the movement reveals that it is rife with white\, male\, and middle-class privilege. Additionally\, movement leaders have often relied on outdated scholarship and mirrored the thinking of the Christian Right. \nWe will discuss three of Progressive Christianity’s formative figures—Jesus Seminar founder Robert Funk\, biblical scholar Marcus Borg\, and Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong—and how their ideas failed to live up to the “progressive” label. We will then consider what a new Progressive Christianity 2.0 movement would need to do to avoid the shortcomings of its predecessor. \nPulpit+ Exchange \nIliff’s Pulpit+ Exchange Series (supported by the Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative from Lilly Endowment Inc.) provides space for a diverse array of ordained clergy and lay leaders to gather for a meal and grapple with challenging issues. One of the main goals of the Pulpit+ Exchange is to build congregations who will authentically study\, worship\, walk\, and act together across difference to create a just and equitable world. \nAbout the Evening’s Agenda \nJoin other clergy and lay leaders for a light meal from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm (MST). The lecture will begin at 5:30 pm. An opportunity to ask Dr. Alumkal questions and engage in discussions with colleagues will follow. \nAbout the Lecturer \nAntony Alumkal’s research interests include the influence of race on religion in the United States\, the pseudoscientific and conspiratorial thinking of the American Christian Right\, and how the “Progressive Christianity” movement mirrors the fundamentalism that it criticizes. His book Paranoid Science: The Christian Right’s War on Reality has been praised by sociologists and science educators while condemned by the Christian Right leaders whose lies he exposed. \nhttps://ncse.ngo/preview-paranoid-science \nHis courses explore religion as a social phenomenon in the contemporary world. Recent courses taught include: \n\nCongregations\nLiberal and Evangelical Protestantism in the United States\nAtheists\, Secularists\, and Nones\nSJE Seminar: Christian Bioethics Debates\n\n“Following Iliff’s Purpose and Vision Statement for me means insisting on the truth in an increasingly post-truth world.”

SUMMARY:Pulpit+ Exchange Presents: Dr. Albert Hernandez
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThe Holy Spirit Throughout History – Join us one week before Pentecost 2023 for great food\, informative teaching\, and robust discussion.\nAbout the Evening’s Lecture \nWhy does the Holy Spirit show up in such mysterious and vastly different ways across history? Why did John Wesley hold such reverence for the importance of spiritual experience in Christian ministry and education? Why do annual commemorations of Pentecost often spark creative re-interpretations of tradition among so many reformers\, dissenters\, and visionaries while crying out prophetically against oppression and injustice in their own times? Join us one week before Pentecost 2023\, for a lively discussion about these ancient legacies and their continued role in Christian revitalization and healing based on Hernández’ book\, Subversive Fire: The Untold Story of Pentecost (Emeth Press\, 2011). \nAbout Pulpit+ Exchange \nIliff’s Pulpit+ Exchange Series (supported by the Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative from Lilly Endowment Inc.) provides space for a diverse array of ordained clergy and lay leaders to gather for a meal and grapple with challenging issues. One of the main goals of the Pulpit+ Exchange is to build congregations of people who will authentically study\, worship\, walk\, and act together across difference to create a just and equitable world. \nAbout the Evening’s Agenda \nJoin other clergy and lay leaders for a light meal from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm (MST). The lecture will begin at 5:30 pm. An opportunity to ask Dr. Hernández questions and engage in discussions with colleagues will follow. \nAbout the Evening’s Lecturer \nHernández joined the Iliff faculty in 2001. He teaches courses in the history of Christianity from Medieval to Early Modern times with additional expertise in the history of the ancient Hellenistic-Roman period. His research and teaching areas include the history of mysticism and pneumatology; Muslim and Christian relations beginning with the Crusades; religious diversity in medieval Iberia and the Spanish Empire; and the history of medicine and pandemics. Hernández led the faculty design team that created the Authentic Engagement Program™ focusing his contribution on human flourishing and the philosophy of Happiness. \nHernández is the author of Subversive Fire: The Untold Story of Pentecost (Emeth Press)\, and co-author with Miguel De La Torre of The Quest for the Historical Satan (Fortress Press)\, a theological best-seller exploring Satan’s story and the problem of evil. He has addressed local\, regional\, and national gatherings and religious organizations about the legacies of the Crusades and Medieval Spain for a pluralistic\, interreligious post-9/11 world. \nHernández served as Iliff’s senior vice president for academic affairs and faculty dean from 2009 to 2017. His administrative service included serving as interim president\, chief operations officer\, and associate dean for academic affairs. He has over thirty years of experience in different educational settings as an administrator\, curriculum developer\, and successful change-agent for organizational management systems. His current writing projects and recent classes focus on medical history and spiritual healing; Italian Renaissance humanism after the Black Death; mysticism in the Spanish Reformation; and the history of social justice.
