Fall Lay Seminary 2012
More often than not, when we discuss Moravian theology, we turn to the 18th century or earlier. Join us as the Rt. Rev. Wayne Burkette surveys Moravian theological thought of more recent, "modern" formulation, specifically developments in the North American Moravian Church since 1957.
We’ll review & discuss:
- The only amendment made to the Ground of the Unity since 1957;
- Statements prepared by the Interprovincial Faith and Order Commission and approved by Provincial Elders Conferences North and South; and
- Synod-approved statements of a doctrinal or theological nature.
Why study theology?
Modern Moravian theology is important for today’s Moravians. Most of the critical issues of our day, which include topics ranging from war and peace to human sexuality, are informed by our understanding of God and the Scriptures, and how we interpret them. That's what theology is all about.
