Rejecting Eurocentric Christianity: Embracing Hopelessness
2024-09-12 18:30 - 20:30 | Centre for Theology & Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia
Rejecting Eurocentric Christianity: Embracing Hopelessness

Northey Lecturer: Dr Miguel de la Torre
Date: 12 September 2024
Time: 6:30 pm
Venue: Pilgrim Theological College, 29 College Crescent, Parkville, 3052, and online
Many living on the margins of colonial/missionary ventures have uncritically accepted eurocentric Christianity, a faith ideology which legitimizes and normalizes the current global economic hegemony. For any theological perspective to be liberative, it must first reject the very faith tradition which masks and justifies this worldview which fails to critically analyze the link between bowing one’s knees to the eurocentric Jesus and the eurocentric power arrangements. By rejecting a theology of hope, and instead embracing a theology of hopelessness, a liberative ethical methodology of resistance can be developed.

Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre – Cuban, international scholar, documentarian, novelist, academic author, and scholar activist, serves as Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, CO, USA. Dr. De La Torre’s academic pursuit is social ethics within contemporary U.S. thought, specifically how religion affects race, class, and gender oppression. He has published forty-five books, six of which have won national awards and over a hundred articles. His most recent book Resisting Apartheid America: Living the Badass Gospel (Eerdmans, 2023) is the conclusion to the trilogy comprised of Burying White Privilege: Resurrecting a Badass Christianity (Eerdmans, 2018), and Decolonizing Christianity: Becoming Badass Believers (Eerdmans, 2021). As a Fulbright scholar, he has taught in several parts of the world. He is the co-founder of the Society of Race, Ethnicity, and Religion and was its executive director from 2013-2017. He is also the founding editor of the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Religion. Among his many achievements are the most recent awards – the American Academy of Religion awards for “Excellence in Teaching” in 2020, and the “Martin E. Marty Public Understanding of Religion Award,” in 2021. De La Toree is also the screenwriter of Trails of Hope and Terror – a documentary on immigration, which has screened in over eighteen film festivals winning over seven awards.

Justice and International Mission Convention 2024
2024-10-05 09:00 - 16:15 | Centre for Theology & Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia
Give us this day our daily bread – Food and Social Justice
Justice and International Mission Convention 2024

When: Saturday 5 October, 9 am – 4:15 pm
Where: Centre for Theology and Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville
Cost: $40 Metropolitan/ $25 Concession and Rural and Regional/$10 online (morning sessions only)

Food is an integral part of our life in our Christian Communities. There are many social justice dimensions to what we eat. These include:

Making sure everyone has enough healthy food to eat;
Impacts on climate change, with emissions related to food making up a third of global greenhouse gas emissions;
Multinational food corporations that put their profits ahead of people’s health;
Fair employment conditions for those that produce our food; and,
Not stigmatising people for their weight when ultra-processed foods are designed to be addictive.

Large food corporations are producing unhealthy and addictive food products that drive up unhealthy food consumption. The foods in question cause various health problems, including obesity, cancer, heart disease and depression. Ultra-processed foods have been progressively tailored by scientists and technicians through combinations of sugar, salt, fat and flavour enhancers to bypass our natural mechanisms of appetite control.

More than half the global population will be living with being overweight or obese within 12 years if prevention, treatment and support do not improve.

Clearing forests for farms and ranches comprised 29% of the food-related greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, strategies by food corporations to drive up food consumption and obesity also impact global greenhouse gas emissions.

The Convention will explore the social justice dimensions of food production and how to incorporate them into the church’s life.

Opening Panel Discussion: Ecumenical Period of Reflection on Disability and the Bible
2024-10-08 17:30 - 19:00 | Australian Catholic University, Mercy Lecture Theatre, Victoria Parade, Fitzroy, VIC, 3002, Australia
As we mark the first anniversary of the release of the final report of the Disability Royal Commission, a group of ecumenical leaders invite you to a period of reflection on disability and the bible.
This opening panel discussion brings together biblical scholars and disability theologians to reflect together on the bible’s diverse portraits of disability and impairment, and on the contexts in which these texts were written and those in which they continue to be interpreted.
This is a discussion that might shape our practice of reading and ministry together, drawing on the latest research and theological reflection on diverse lived experience. And it will open a discussion for which Inside Others will provide further resources over the weeks that follow, for those who would like to take this reflection further.
These are crucial questions for everyone who draws on the bible in ministry settings and you are warmly invited to join us for it.
There will be opportunity to join a collegial group (sometimes called a Peer Learning Group) to deepen learning, and for ongoing reflection on practice in your context. There will be three gatherings fortnightly. More information on October 8.

Dr. Ursula Betka presents her new book

Techniques of Painting and Gilding in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Italy.
Egg Tempera and Gold Leaf on Wood Panel.
Ursula Betka (Nov. 2024)

This book concentrates on a genre of sacred painting on wood panels that flourished in Catholic Europe from the late-medieval era. Both historical and contemporary methodologies of egg tempera painting and decorative gilding are explored, along with the theological and historical meanings of sacred art in the Italian tradition. Cennino Cennini’s seminal text, Il Libro dell’Arte, written in the late-fourteenth century, provides a starting point for an exploration of workshop techniques and materials seen through the lens of the author’s own artistic practice, teaching and academic research.

Exploring Theology in the UCA
2025-02-24 19:00 - 2025-05-26 21:00 | Online, Australia
Exploring Theology in the UCA has been created around the Worship and Preaching Competencies for Biblical studies from the “Assembly Standards and Competencies for the Formation and Education for the Specified Ministry of Lay Preacher”. So, those training for the ministry of Lay Preaching, and those needing to undertake training for the Worship and Preaching Competencies for Pastors (as these are the same), can be assured they are receiving training to help them meet these competencies.
However, Exploring Theology in the UCA was also written and developed to encourage faith and discipleship formation. So, it is also a great unit for:

Worship leaders
people undertaking a Period of Discernment
Lay Preachers looking for some continuing education
people who would like to explore Theology as a way of deepening their faith and relationship with God and
anyone just generally interested in knowing more about how we ‘do’ Theology in the UCA.

Exploring Theology in the UCA covers:

What is Theology and how is it used by individuals and in the church, particularly the Uniting Church in Australia
The meaning of revelation and the authority of Scripture
The Trinity
The Holy Spirit
Creation and Eco-Theology
God’s Providence and Evil
Humanity and Sin
Salvation
The Church
Mission
Christian Hope

Exploring Theology in the UCA is offered through access to online learning materials and a Zoom class.
Internet not great at home? The unit is also designed so that the base material can be downloaded and saved to your computer. Others interested in learning in your Presbytery? Why don’t you learn together – and download your learning material to work on at home.
The textbook for Exploring Theology in the UCA (and Exploring Christology) is Faith Seeking Understanding: An Introduction to Christian Theology, 4th Edition by Daniel Migliore (2023). Please make sure you purchase this book before starting the unit, and leave time for it to arrive! Available in ebook, Kindle, or paperback. It is also available from Koorong in paperback.
For those who are very new to theological thinking, the following two books would be extremely helpful to obtain and read before the unit, if possible:

Thinking the Faith, Living the Faith: An Introduction to Christian Theology by Christopher C Walker – available in paperback only
A “Down and Dirty” Guide to Theology by Donald K McKim – available in Kindle or paperback

Both books are great ‘stepping stones’ or aids in helping you to get your thinking at a different level. Learning theology is like learning a new language, particularly in the beginning. It can be helpful to ‘step up’ into your formal learning through other reading

Conversation with Steed Davidson
2025-03-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Centre for Theology & Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia
Biblical Studies and the Twilight of the Humanities
Steed V Davidson
Monday, 24 March 2025
Yuma Auditorium
7-9 pm

Steed Vernyl Davidson, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, serves as the Executive Director of the Society of Biblical Literature. He has degrees from the University of West Indies and Boston University and a PhD from Union Theological Seminary. He has held teaching and administrative positions at the Pacific Lutheran Theological College (Berkeley) and McCormick Theological College (Chicago) where he taught Hebrew Bible/Old Testament through postcolonial studies. He is also ‘Extraordinary Visiting Professor, Old Testament,’ Department of Old and New Testament, Stellenbosch University.
Among his publications are Empire and Exile: Postcolonial Readings of the Book of Jeremiah (Bloomsbury, 2011); Writing/Reading the Bible in Postcolonial Perspective (Brill, 2017); and the coedited volumes, Prophetic Otherness: Constructions of Otherness in Prophetic Literature (T & T Clark, 2021); Queering the Prophet: On Jonah, and Other Activists (SCM Press, 2023).
Biblical Studies and the Twilight of the Humanities
The drum beats of the death of the humanities began several decades ago and have not let up. Pressures from within and without institutions dedicated to the study and learning of the human condition that hasten their decline imperil not simply disciplines, professions, or programs. The vitality of what it means to be human, the expansion in the depth of human relationships, as well as a human’s relationship with the created order are similarly threatened. Biblical Studies that explore the Bible’s ancient engagement of what it means to be human under the power of God has long contributed to the humanities and still has the potential to do even more. Deeper conversations with other disciplines including technology, expanded public engagement, accessible research that touches religious communities, creative and relevant teaching in primary education provide possible paths for reinventing and sustaining Biblical Studies in an age that threats to shrink the community of the world’s people.

Book launch for 'What Is Happening to Religion in Australia? Understanding the Trends'
2025-04-07 16:00 - 17:00 | Centre for Theology & Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia
Launch of ‘What Is Happening to Religion in Australia? Understanding the Trends’
By Philip Hughes.
Anecdotal experience and statistics from the census and surveys indicate clearly that identification with religion is in decline in Australia. This book analyses the trends and, drawing on international scholarship, provides a social explanation of what is happening. It looks at the role of immigration in slowing the patterns of change and the different rates that progressive and conservative churches are changing. It suggests ways in which people of faith and churches may respond to these trends.
Prof Andrew Singleton, a leading sociologist of religion, at Deakin University will be speaking, as will Dr Muriel Porter, a journalist and author of a number of books on religion in Australia.
The book is being published by Coventry Press.
Where: Yuma Auditorium at The Centre for Theology & Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville VIC 3021
When: Monday 7 April, 4pm to 5pm (followed by light refreshments)
Cost: Free

Pastoral Partner Program - Online Training
2025-05-06 19:00 - 2025-06-03 21:00 | Online, Australia
In May 2025, eLM are offering training in the fantastic Pastoral Partner Program with none other than the creator of the Program, Sharonne Price!
This is wonderful training for Congregations and Faith Communities. And is also great training for those Lay Preachers who find themselves in pastoral situations. (Mel Perkins, Synod Lay Leadership Development Coordinator)
People right across the age range need to be cared for pastorally within congregations and faith communities such as Messy Church. Pastoral Partners provides the training so that members of these communities can feel more confident as they care for one another in all the complexities of life. (Rev Sandy Brodine, Synod Younger Generations – Education & Strategy Coordinator)
In many multicultural congregations, so called ‘CALD’ congregations, lay members often play a central role in providing pastoral care because they deeply understand the cultural and linguistic practices of their communities. Equipping them with additional training and resources can be transformative, enabling them to offer care that is not only spiritually nourishing but also culturally sensitive and effective. (Rev David Kim, Synod Multicultural Ministries Coordinator)
When:
Tuesday nights, 6, 13, 20, 27 May, 3 June – 7-9pm

Pastoral Partner Program

Training coming in May 2025

The Uniting Church recognises the responsibility and freedom which belong to councils to acknowledge gifts among members for the fulfilment of particular functions. The Uniting Church sees in pastoral care exercised personally on behalf of the Church an expression of the fact that God always deals personally with people, would have God’s loving care known among people, and would have individual members take upon themselves the form of a servant. (The Basis of Union, Para 16)

An introductory online unit for anyone who wants to know more about the study of Christ

Worship leaders
people undertaking a Period of Discernment
Lay Preachers looking for some continuing education
people who would like to explore Christology as a way of deepening their faith and relationship with God and
anyone just generally interested in knowing more about the study of Christ.

Exploring Christology covers:

Christological questions and historical development
The ministry and mission of Jesus
Images of the Christ
Christ and the church
Why did Jesus die?
The work of salvation and atonement
The resurrection and its meaning
Christology in context
Christ in the Uniting Church in Australia
Jesus Christ and Religious Pluralism

Exploring Christology is offered through access to online learning materials and a Zoom class.
Internet not great at home? The unit is also designed so that the base material can be downloaded and saved to your computer. Others interested in learning in your Presbytery? Why don’t you learn together – and download your learning material to work on at home.

Justice and International Mission Convention 2025
2025-07-12 09:00 - 16:15 | Centre for Theology & Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia
Christian Community and the pursuit of Common Good
Justice and International Mission Convention 2025

When: Saturday 12 July, 9 am – 4:15 pm
Where: Centre for Theology and Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville
Cost: $50 Metropolitan/ $30 Concession and Rural and Regional, $10 online (morning sessions only) (Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea included)

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. Philippians 2:3-4

When Jesus said, “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me,” (Mt 25:40) he was inviting us to seek the Common Good. Jesus saw a common good as fulfilling God’s will that we love and serve others, creating a society where all people are valued and treated with dignity, and where justice and peace prevail. The common good is a collective responsibility, where people live in harmony, sharing resources, offering help, and showing kindness to one another in ways that build up the community, and not just for individual gain.
Political and financial inequality across the globe and in Australia is increasing, resulting in people on lower incomes believing that the democratic system does not work for them. The increase in these inequalities also erodes trust and social cohesion in our society, and increase the growth in racism. It also makes it harder to address problems that require whole of society and international cooperation, such as climate change and pandemics.
The problem of the erosion of trust and social cohesion is enhanced by the spread of disinformation and misinformation in the online world. The ability of generative artificial intelligence to create realistic video material will increasingly make it more difficult to tell the truth from lies in the online world.
The Convention will examine what we, in the Christian community, can do to reverse these trends and rebuild a commitment to the common good in our society.
Keynote Speaker

She is a sociologist and social policy scholar whose work identifies and challenges inequalities arising from gender, age and social disadvantage.
