The Global Ecumenical Theological Institute (GETI) 2018 is a global ecumenical short-term study and exposure programme in accompaniment of the World Mission Conference in March 2018 in Arusha, Tanzania.

The arts not only mirror cultural change, they can bring God’s healing to cultural brokenness. Through Brehm Center courses, programs, and events guided by Director Mako Fujimura’s vision for Culture Care, leaders learn to critically integrate theology and the arts as they creatively explore and express their own callings.

The Brehm Center works in tandem with Fuller’s Schools of Theology, Intercultural Studies, and Psychology to provide a number of programs, courses, and forms of support.

The media remain fascinated by religion, faith and belief. Often, though, the agenda for these conversations is set by others. We are keen for Christians to tell their own stories confidently and creatively in the media. Today, more than ever, we have the potential to communicate the message of the Christian faith in the public sphere.

Thinking Theology gatherings, from tearfund, provide space to reflect on what the Bible has to say about the pursuit of justice and the way in which Christians do development work. 

We all know that saints are dead and respectable.  But St Paul called all the people of God saints whether they were behaving like saints, sinners or something much more ordinary.  What if God is showing us the glory, the grace and the transformative love of his presence in the people who happen to be there, whether we like it – and them – or not?  And could it possibly be that God is calling us to be saints as well, however unlikely that seems?

The inaugural Exploring the Glory of God Conference will be held from July 6-9 2016 at St John’s College, Durham University. Inspiration for the conference stems from the belief that God’s self-revelation leads to encounters that manifest in a rich variety of textual, ideological, social, and visual expressions.
