39Th Annual Gathering Annual Gathering Ohio Conference United Church of Christ 39th Annual Gathering Embrace the Experience Community Ë ConnectionsConnections Ë UnityUnity inin ChristChrist Come a day early for a workshop for clergy and lay professionals Thursday, June 13 Herbster Chapel in Pfleiderer Hall One Spirit, One Body – and One Mission Leaders: Walter Wink and June Keener Wink In a time when churches have been wracked with internal division, we need to be recalled to the mission to which we are committed: the recalling of the Powers That Be to their divine vocations. Institutions, the church included, abandon their divine tasks and make survival, or profit, or growth the highest good. In this workshop we will deal with the domination system of which we are a part, Jesus’ alternative understanding of power, and the role of vision in keeping alive our commitment to the mission of Jesus. Workshop Schedule - Thursday, June 13 The workshop will begin with lunch at 12:30 in the Hoernemann Refectory in Miller Residence Hall. Workshop sessions will be held in Herbster Chapel in Pfleiderer Hall. The first workshop session runs from 2:00 -5:00 pm. There will be a break for dinner in Hoernemann from 5:30-6:30 pm. The second workshop session will run from 7:00 - 9:30 pm. When you arrive on campus, please go to the Campus Center registration area in Room 220 to receive your nametag, program book, room key, meal card and other materials. To Register You may include this workshop in your Annual Gathering registration (early bird fee including workshop: $82), or you may register for the workshop alone for $25 (this fee includes lunch and dinner on Thursday).

On the other side: About the Winks Ohio Conference UCC, 6161 Busch Blvd., Suite 95, Columbus, OH 43229 * 800-282-0740 * 614-885-0722 * www.ocucc.org downloaded from Ohio Conference web site About the Winks (Excerpts from their website www.walterwink.com) Dr. Walter Wink is Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City. Previously, he was a parish minister and taught at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In 1989-1990 he was a Peace Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace. He is a prolific author. His newer works include: The Human Being: Jesus and the Enigma of the Son of Man (2001), Peace Is the Way: Writings on Nonviolence from the Fellowship of Reconciliation (2000), The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium (1999), and Homosexuality and Christian Faith: Questions of Conscience for the Churches (1999). June Keener Wink is an adjunct faculty member of Auburn Theological Seminary. From her background in body movement and art, she offers a unique approach to the integration of body, mind and spirit. She leads groups in movement and art activities. She is an internationally known potter whose specialty is “Dancing Flame Oil Lamps” which are used for personal and group meditation. She also makes chalices and patens and other liturgical ware. She is author of an article, “Shedding the Snakeskin,” in Women’s Studies Quarterly (Summer, 1993), is the subject of a chapter, “Bible Study and Movement for Human Transformation,” in Body and Bible, ed. Björn Krondorfer (1992), and is featured in an interview in The Witness, entitled “In Pursuit of a Dancing God,” by Marianne Arbogast (May 1995).” She also wrote “Joy in the Dance” in The Living Pulpit (October - December 1996). June Keener Wink and Walter Wink do workshops aimed at an encounter with the biblical text that will be transformative for the participants. She does body movement, drawing on a variety of approaches. She also leads the group in meditation, work with art, and other integrative events. Walter facilitates Socratic dialogue about biblical texts. By thus drawing on the right and left sides of the brain, participants are enabled to experience the texts’ meaning at a deeper level than just academic discourse. June and Walter have led workshops all over the United States and Canada, as well as in New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, South Korea, East and West Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland. They spent four months in South and Central America in 1982, studying military dictatorships and the struggle for justice and democracy. As a result of that trip, Walter’s projected study on the principalities and powers grew from a one volume to a three-volume work. They traveled to South Africa in 1986. Out of that trip a book emerged, Violence and Nonviolence in South Africa. 3200 copies were sent into South Africa, one by one, to black and white English-speaking clergy. It seems to have had a significant impact in discussions there. In 1988, Walter entered South Africa illegally, having been refused a visa, and after leading workshops in nonviolence in Johannesburg and Pretoria, turned himself in to the authorities and was expelled. In 1989, Walter was honored by selection as a Peace Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. Part of that year’s fellowship involved a five month stay at Oxford University, completing the third volume of the Powers trilogy (Engaging the Powers). They live in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts, where they attempt to live the complicated and time- consuming “simple” life, raising their own vegetables, fruits and berries and freezing them for the winter months. Their home is the location also of June’s pottery studio, Wild Thyme Pottery. She specializes in oil lamps, chalices and patens, and majolica (which involves painting on pottery). In March 1994, they served as official poll watchers in the Elections in El Salvador. In December 1994 they did nonviolence training in Mexico around issues raised by the Zapatista insurgency in Chiapas. In 1996 they returned to Northern Ireland to lead workshops on nonviolence, and in 1998 to South Africa at the invitation of Gun Free South Africa.

  • How the Markan Reader Understands Jesus Through John/Elijah
    John, Elijah, or One of the Prophets: How the Markan Reader Understands Jesus Through John/Elijah by Donald Stephen Black A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Biblical Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy awarded by the University of St. Michael's College. © Copyright By Donald Stephen Black 2012 John, Elijah, or One of the Prophets: How the Markan Reader Understands Jesus Through John/Elijah Donald Stephen Black Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Michael’s College 2012 Abstract A primary concern of the Gospel of Mark is the identity and fate of Jesus. In service to this, the Gospel develops a secondary interest in the identity and fate of John The Baptist. John, as Elijah redivivus, provides reasons to believe that Jesus is the Christ, provides a grid by which Jesus’ ministry and identity can be comprehended, and helps justify and explicate the unexpected death of the Messiah. This is accomplished through various literary devices throughout the narrative. For them to be fully effective it is necessary for the implied reader to be actively involved. The fact that Jesus’ identity and John’s identity are not adequately acknowledged within the narrative suggests that the plot moves towards a recognition of both of these figures. Jesus’ identity and John’s identity are related, in such a way that a recognition of John’s witness and identity leads towards a recognition of Jesus’ identity and fate. To understand John is to understand Jesus, and to misunderstand John is to misunderstand Jesus.

  • A Mennonite-Feminist Exploration of Dorothee Sölle and J. Denny Weaver on Nonviolence, Atonement, and Redemption
    Making Peace with the Cross: A Mennonite-Feminist Exploration of Dorothee Sölle and J. Denny Weaver on Nonviolence, Atonement, and Redemption by Margreta Susanne Guenther Loewen A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Emmanuel College and the Department of Theology of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Margreta Susanne Guenther Loewen 2016 Making Peace with the Cross: A Mennonite-Feminist Exploration of Dorothee Sölle and J. Denny Weaver on Nonviolence, Atonement, and Redemption Margreta Susanne Guenther Loewen Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2016 Abstract This thesis brings German liberationist-feminist theologian Dorothee Sölle and American Anabaptist-Mennonite peace theologian J. Denny Weaver into conversation as a way of addressing two significant debates within contemporary theology – namely, the debate among feminists and womanists asking whether the cross can be redemptive for women and other historically marginalized groups and the debate among Anabaptist-Mennonite and other peace-oriented theologians asking whether God is nonviolent. I take the position that by holding Sölle’s more Abelardian emphasis on the cross as divine solidarity with the oppressed together with Weaver’s “narrative Christus Victor” understanding of Jesus’ resurrection as nonviolent divine victory over evil, both debates can be addressed. I therefore synthesize their views into an integrated Mennonite-feminist theology of the cross and redemption which neither reifies violence nor all forms of suffering as redemptive. The first two chapters provide context for the conversation between Sölle and Weaver.

  • Developing a Theological and Sociological Model for Confronting Evil Within Urban Power Structures
    DEVELOPING A THEOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL MODEL FOR CONFRONTING EVIL WITHIN URBAN POWER STRUCTURES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by James Richard Jackson May 1995 i ABSTRACT DEVELOPING A THEOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL MODEL FOR CONFRONTING EVIL WITHIN URBAN POWER STRUCTURES James Richard Jackson, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1995 Chairperson: Dr. John P. Dever In this dissertation, a theological and sociological foundation for confronting evil within urban power structures was established. From this foundation, a model was developed for guiding churches in confronting evil within the power structures of their communities. Chapter 2 focused on the development of a theological understanding of the nature of evil within urban power structures derived from the writings of Walter Wink. Chapter 3 examined urban power structures from a sociological perspective. This chapter aided in understanding how and where systemic evil resides within the major urban power structures of society (governments, economic and cultural institutions, and corporations) and within American capitalism as a whole. Chapter 4 offered a practical eight-step method for discovering the individuals within particular power structures who hold the power. This helps in locating the pressure points of change. In addition, this chapter aided in understanding what it is about the nature and function ii of urban power structures that often make them appear impervious to change. This section related urban power structures to conflict theory and, specifically, to the writings of C. Wright Mills and Ralf Dahrendorf. Chapter 5 examined three community organizations that illustrate what is involved in struggles against urban power structures.
