SUMMARY:Workshop on Animating Antiracism as a Way of Being And…
DESCRIPTION:Talking about race and racial discrimination can be hard\, but it’s important to understand how to fix these ongoing social issues. When we talk about belonging and diversity as strengths for communities and organizations\, we must also recognize the challenges preventing these goals. Crossroads’ experience shows that understanding antiracism and what it requires from leaders is key to creating diverse\, fair\, and welcoming places. This involves developing a shared understanding of how systemic discrimination\, particularly racism\, operates within institutions\, practicing the identification of its impacts in people and their communities\, recognizing how institutions unintentionally contribute to these impacts\, and exploring tools for imagining solutions. This special edition of Crossroads foundational workshop will provide participants with an expanded exploration of institutional organizing and how to navigate the climate of retrenchment permeating our culture. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n• Introduce a way to understand antiracism and what it asks of institutions and their leaders. \n• Surface how systemic racism arises from a culture that values dominance as a core principle. \n• Explore how our systems uphold systemic discrimination\, benefiting dominant groups and harming marginalized ones\, especially people of color. \n• Begin exploring the long-term work needed to break down systemic racial injustice in institutions and society.

SUMMARY:Wounded Light: Sacred Art in the Neon City
DESCRIPTION:Artist Joseph Malham will offer reflections on his work during an Opening Night Reception on Friday\, August 22 at 5pm. The event will take place outside the Chapel of the Unnamed Faithful\, located in the Cross Tower Room at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.  \nAll are invited to this evening of art\, faith\, and conversation.  \nThis fall\, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary is honored to present Wounded Light: Sacred Art in the Neon City\, an exhibition of iconographic art by Chicago-based artist Joseph Malham.  \nMany of the works in Wounded Light are created with found and distressed materials such as discarded wood boards\, aged canvases\, and other repurposed surfaces that bear the mark of time and loss. These surfaces became sacred ground themselves serving as witness to both suffering and transformation. Created during a period of profound global isolation\, these imperfect and wounded objects reflect a core truth: that even in our brokenness\, we are capable to reflect light where divine radiance breaks through the fractured\, the forgotten\, and the forsaken.  \nFor over two decades\, Malham has engaged deeply in both the artistic and theological dimension of sacred image making. As an artist in residence at St. Gregory the Great Church in Chicago\, he has not only created sacred icons but also led workshops\, retreats\, and lectures across the country\, fostering a renewed understanding of iconography as a living spiritual practice. Malham fuses ancient iconographic traditions with randomly encountered object – the rubble and refuse of everyday life – salvaged from the alleys\, streets\, and shadows of Chicago’s urban wilderness.  \nAt the heart of Wounded Light is the Heroes of Faith & Justice series\, which honors lay and religious men and women from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds who have witnessed Christ through acts of justice\, mercy\, and service to the people of God in Chicago. For Malham\, the city is not merely a backdrop but sacred ground. He writes “Chicago was the soil of their ministry but faith was the seed.”  \nIn addition to his visual work\, Malham is the author of four books. In 2015 Malham he was awarded the Bishop Quarter Award\, by Cardinal Cupich in recognition of his services to the Archdiocese of Chicago.  \nThis exhibition invites viewers into a contemplative encounter with the holiness\, revealed not in perfection but in the luminous and enduring presence that emerges through what is wounded\, weathered\, and redeemed.  \nWounded Light will be on view throughout August and into mid-September 2025\, with works displayed across all three floors of Garrett’s main building.  \nFor more information about Joseph Malham’s work\, please visit www.trinityicons.com. \n  \n

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.
