Through a Glass Darkly

On Friday I had the privilege of being part of a panel discussion at the University of Chicago Divinity School’s Ministry Conference — “Through a Glass Darkly: The Church and Popular Culture in the Media Age”. The keynote speaker was Lauren Winner. The panel I was on included Rory Johnson, a Ph.D. student in Psychology and Sociology of Religion; Lois Smidt, cofounder and executive director of the Beyond Welfare project of Story County, Iowa; and MaryBeth Morehouse from Willow Creek Chicago, a central-city branch of the legendary suburban church. A good dialogue was had and we probably raised more questions than answers, but I thought what a great thing for divinity school students to be exposed to and to engage with.

You can check out the conference’s blog on which will appear clips from the conference.
