Religiones en España (Universidad de La Laguna)
El título del curso es Religiones en España, y no Religiones de España. Por tanto, el propósito desde la base es plantear que no hay una propuesta religiosa que sea propia o marque la idiosincrasia española. En el territorio que denominamos España, el catolicismo tiene y ha tenido un peso indudable, pero intentaremos hacer visibles muchas otras propuestas religiosas, tanto la gran diversidad de las que caracterizan el mundo multirreligioso y globalizado en el que vivimos, como las que han tenido presencia e importancia en épocas pasadas. Visibilizar la diversidad religiosa es uno de los propósitos fundamentales del curso, para ello tendrá un peso importante el material gráfico, más de un millar de fotografías ilustran el material de trabajo del curso.

When ‘Spiritual but Not Religious’ is Not Enough (United Church of Canada)
Join minister and celebrated author, Rev. Dr. Lillian Daniel, for a one-hour conversation on her most recent book, When “Spiritual But Not Religious” is Not Enough: Seeing God in Surprising Places, Even the Church.
During this webinar Lillian will give a new spin on church with stories of what a life of faith can really be: weird, wondrous, and well worth trying. From a rock-and-roller sexton to a BB gun-toting grandma, a church service attended by animals to a group of unlikely theologians at Sing Sing, Daniel shows us a portrait of church that is flawed, fallible–and deeply faithful. With poignant reflections and sly wit, Daniel invites people to step out of themselves, dare to become a community, and encounter a God greater than they could ever invent.

Evangelistic Preaching in a Tongue-Tied Church (United Church of Canada)
Our United Churches are full of good people who are eager to make a different in the world. But these same people are often very uncomfortable speaking their faith outside the safety of our stained glass sanctuaries. What role does preaching play in addressing this short-coming as we seek to follow Jesus in this post-Christendom and post-modern world? The mission of the church is not to “take nice Canadians and make them nicer.
Join Ross Lockhart and others in this webinar to explore a new method of evangelistic preaching in a mainline context to help move people from tongue-tied to testimony.
