SUMMARY:Faithful Preaching for our Times
DESCRIPTION:Styberg Preaching Institute 20th Anniversary Event\nOctober 7 – 9\, 2025 at Garrett Seminary\n  \nIn a world increasingly shaped by authoritarianism\, nationalism\, and historical revisionism\, the call to preach with steadfastness\, mutual accountability\, courage\, and clarity has never been more urgent. Faithful Preaching for Our Times is a homiletics conference that gathers pastors\, theologians\, scholars\, and activists to explore just and liberative approaches to proclaiming the gospel. Together\, we will examine how preaching can confront the forces that distort truth\, suppress justice\, and silence the vulnerable—while embodying a faith that resists\, liberates\, and restores in sustained ways. Through workshops\, plenaries\, and worship\, this gathering invites preachers to engage their prophetic vocation with theological depth and bold imagination for the challenges of our time. \n  \nVisit garrett.edu/styberg2025 to learn more.

SUMMARY:ART\, EARTH & ETHICS
DESCRIPTION:We’re living at a time when it’s hard to feel our connections to each other and the planet. Hotter temperatures\, fiercer storms\, disrupted communities. How can we work together to recognize and build upon our radical interconnectedness\, ethically\, ecologically\, faithfully?  \nJoin the Garrett community and collaborators for an artist talk and workshop with Dr. Cara Judea Alhadeff\, a Mother\, Artist\, Author\, Professor\, Action-Philosopher\, Environmental-Justice Organizer.  \nSEPTEMBER 5\, 4-6pm: Welcome the Stranger: Interreligious Lessons from Zazu Dreams: Artist Talk   \nSEPTEMBER 6\, 4-6pm: Collective Spiritual Intelligence: An Intimate Guide to Living Our Eco-Ethics: Workshop  \nMore about the artist talk: Welcome the Stranger: Interreligious Lessons from Zazu Dreams: Artist Talk   \nBy illuminating the intersections of history\, geography\, ethics\, and symbiosis between biodiversity\, religious\, and ethnic diversity\, the book (and accompanying art for) Zazu Dreams explores how we can transform our petroleum-addicted convenience culture to individual and collective ancient technologies and biophilia (or the love of life).  \nMore about the workshop: Collective Spiritual Intelligence: An Intimate Guide to Living Our Eco-Ethics  \nThis workshop will offer participants opportunities to recognize the value of re-“discovering” our innate capacities to think beyond the habitual\, thus expanding the possibilities of living our spiritual intelligence\, our radical interconnectedness. We will ask how specific biblical ethics of co-implication (empathy and somatic attunement) can develop a profound sense of individual agency and how that empowerment can lead to creative response-ability through collective/collaborative eco-social\, spiritual justice.  \nBoth events will happen at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Room 205 at 2121 Sheridan Rd.\, Evanston\, IL . Co-sponsored by the Center for Ecological Regeneration\, the Stead Center\, Garrett Art Committee\, GreenFaith\, Faith in Place\, and the Garrett Collective  \nMore about the artist: Dr. Cara Judea Alhadeff’s photographs and performance videos have been exhibited across the globe from Seoul to Lyon to Hamburg and are in collections including SFMoMA\, MoMA Salzburg\, Austria\, and the Kinsey Institute.

Her work has been the subject of documentaries for international public television/ radio. A former professor at UC Santa Cruz\, Alhadeff and her family live and perform creative zero-waste in their eco-art installation repurposed school bus. More at www.carajudeaalhadeff.com
