Spring Gathering of the Second Fellowship

The inaugural gathering of the SAET’s Second Fellowship has come and gone. A great time! It was just a short evening/morning event that gave the Fellows a chance to meet each other, meet us, and discuss the SAET vision. I was encouraged by the immediate sense of affinity and unity around the common cause of ecclesial theology. We spent Tuesday morning interacting with my taxonomy paper, and the feedback continues to sharpen my understanding of ecclesial theology and the pastor-theologian paradigm. I think I’m now at a place where I’ve talked about it enough–time to get on with it!

In the picture above, from left to right: Jonathan Cummings, Micky Klink, Jeff Hubing, Eric Bargerhuff, Gerald Hiestand, Doug Sweeney, Matt Kim, Todd Wilson, Matthew Mason, and Jason Hood. (Not pictured is Michael Lefebvre, who left before the group shot).

Thanks everyone for a great couple of days — look forward to our first real symposium in June, 2011!

The SAET is pleased to announced the admittance of Dr. Matt Kim into the SAET’s Second Fellowship.

Matt has served as the senior pastor of Logos Central Chapel in Denver, Colorado, since September 2006. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in the suburb of Palatine.

He is the author of two books. His dissertation was published as Preaching to Second Generation Korean Americans: Towards a Possible Selves Contextual Homiletic (New York: Peter Lang, 2007). He has recently written My First Year in Ministry: 7 Lessons for New Pastors (St. Louis: Chalice Press, Spring 2011). In January 2008, he was invited to teach as the Sams Visiting Professor of Preaching at Gordon-Conwell on the topic of Preaching in the Asian-American Context. Matt and his wife Sarah are the parents of two boys, Ryan and Evan. He is a member of the Academy of Homiletics and serves on the executive committee of the Evangelical Homiletics Society.

The SAET is pleased to announced the admittance of Dr. Jeff Hubing into the SAET’s Second Fellowship.

Jeff is a part-time Teaching Pastor at Rock Church, in Rockford, IL, and an Affiliate Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He holds an M.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies from Wheaton College and a Ph.D. in New Testament and Early Christianity from Loyola University Chicago. Jeff has a deep burden for training leaders for Christian ministry and for building vibrant local churches. A central of focus in his ministry and scholarly study is the concept of Spiritual formation as a holistic process, integrating intellectual growth through careful study of Scripture, the shaping of the soul through the dynamic experience of the Spirit, and the cultivation of practices that embody the love and power of the gospel. Jeff and his wife, Carol, were married in 2000, and have four children.

Welcome, Jeff!

Second SAET Fellowship Launched – Openings Available!

The SAET has continued to grow and our First Fellowship has reached its maximum capacity (though we’re still looking for a pastor-theologian from the Methodist/Wesleyan tradition). In light of this, the SAET board has approved the launch of a Second Fellowship. The Second Fellowship will parallel the original Fellowship in terms of topic and mission, but will meet separately in May. We’ve already pulled together a great group of core guys, and are currently looking to expand.

At present, the Second Fellowship is seeking representation from the Messianic Jewish, Lutheran, and Baptist traditions. Evangelical pastor-theologians from these traditions are encouraged to apply. See below for details.

Fellowship Openings
The SAET is now accepting applications to our second Fellowship. Ideal candidates:

Are full-time pastors who views the writing/publication of ecclesial theology as a significant ministry calling.
