Spring Gathering of the Second Fellowship

Tweet

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!

About the SAET Blog

Welcome to the SAET blog. Herein you will find the theological/pastoral ramblings of the Rev. Matthew Mason, the good Doctor Jason Hood, and Pastor Gerald Hiestand. All three write under the premise that theology and the pastorate belong together, and that (at least some) pastors must once again function as writing theologians for the wider church, for the ecclesial renewal of theology and the theological renewal of the church.
