Be Born in Us: Love of Neighbor in Advent (The Episcopal Church)


Love of Neighbor in Advent online religious webinar

Source: ECF Vital Practices

Throughout the year, churches extend incarnational love to neighbors near and far through mission and outreach activities. Take time this Advent to meditate on the love at the heart of Christian social witness. This hour-long web retreat explored love as attention, love as justice, and love as imagination, to help churches love their neighbors in a way that transforms the world.

Presented by ECF Fellow the Rev. Ali Lutz, a doctoral student in Ethics and Society at Vanderbilt University’s Graduate Department of Religion.

Religiones en España (Universidad de La Laguna)


Universidad de la Laguna

Source: Miriada X

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.

Aunque este MOOC ya se realizó, si te inscribes podrás acceder a los contenidos más importantes y a los vídeos. Sin embargo, no podrás realizar ninguna de las actividades ni te podrás certificar.

Muslims in Britain: Changes and Challenges (Cardiff University)


Muslims in Britain online course

Source: Future Learn

Islam is the second largest religion in the world today and dominates much of the current geopolitical discourse. People are increasingly bombarded by dramatic and at times disturbing headlines. Yet general knowledge of Muslims and their faith can be poor. There is consequently a need for a balanced and well-informed understanding of the current debates around this internationally significant topic.

This course uses Britain as a case study to shed light on wider issues relating to the growth of Islamic communities across the culturally Christian and increasingly secularised Western World. This MOOC reflects the work of the Islam-UK Centre at Cardiff University, and the research that we have conducted over the last decade. This means that we focus in this course upon the everyday lives of Muslims in Britain, as opposed to the activities of the very small minority of Muslims who engage in terrorist activities. Later in the course, we will help you to access material on this topic if you are interested

Fishing Tips (United Church of Canada)


Spend an hour with Hillhurst United Church minister John Pentland! In his recent book, “Fishing Tips,” John offers an open invitation to be curious. Using an ancient story as inspiration, he reflects on how Hillhurst United said “Yes” to throwing the nets on the other side of convention. The result was innovative, invigorating and transformative.

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.

Evolutionary Christian Mysticism (United Church of Canada)


Bruce Sanguin had an awakening experience on the shore of Narragansett, Rhode Island. He realized that he was the presence of the universe, in human form, evolving. He underwent an irreversible transformation of consciousness that involved his realization of unity with All That Is. Following this experience, his theological and spiritual orientation began to shift. In this webinar he will share the story of his spiritual and theological transformation.

Is evolution the godless, directionless, and purposeless process that the New Atheists make it out to be? Or can it be imagined as a divine strategy for bringing forth a world? What does it mean to be Christian when we know that the the evolutionary process itself has gained the capacity for conscious awareness, in, through, and as us? Who do we say that Jesus is, in a post-Darwinian, scientific age, in which evolution describes the fundamental nature of the universe? How do people understand “sin” in an evolutionary theology? These and other questions will be explored.

Experiments in Missional Living (United Church of Canada)


This webinar explores how the focus is on: “defining your unique WHY?” as a congregation; the importance of establishing strong core values; living out the gospel admonition that finding life requires losing life; moving from congregational insulation to kingdom collaboration by forming creative partnerships with unlikely allies.

Exploring Open Source (United Church of Canada)


The concept of “open source” – free and open sharing of technology, design and knowledge is quickly becoming a disruptive element in fields of software (where it started) and hardware development, and education, to name but a few. This is in part a result of expectations around mass collaboration, crowdsourcing and shared wisdom that is a ‘given’ for digital natives.

This has interesting and perhaps startling ramifications for the church community. For example, consider the large part technology is playing in your world these days. What role does the community of developers (apps, gadgets, and software) play in areas of faith and spirituality? What is the source of any talent and ability that we have? What happens when ideas are shared instead of being licensed for financial gain? These are all questions that guided Peter Chynoweth during a four month sabbatical in 2012. Explore and discuss the things he learned, and the role that “open source” may play not only in the world around the corner, but in faith community and spiritual discoveries.

Evangelism in a New Light (United Church of Canada)


One of the earliest admonitions in life is this: “Pay Attention.”

One of the hardest things in the world to do is this: “Pay Attention.”

Nobody attends to attention. People teach how to think, not how to pay attention. But paying attention changes one’s brain, one’s being, one’s future.

Evangelism is the art of paying attention. We live in an attention-deficit-culture more adept at gaining attention than at paying attention. This webinar explores how evangelism is more pay attention than attract attention. The best evangelists are not the attention-getters, but attention-givers, those who can read the signs of what God is up to. In a world where everyone suffers from attention deficit disorder, disciples of Jesus are people with Attention Surplus Disorder.
