Description
Featuring Margaret Farley, Stephanie Coontz, Miguel De La Torre and Barbara Essex.What makes a family and who decides? How did the idea of “nuclear family” emerge as the dominant paradigm when so many of our historic and scriptural models present alternative arrangements? How do our concepts of racial identity, sexuality, and gender influence how we approach our familial roles? How do we better serve religious families or those with multi-faith backgrounds? Join us for the 111th Earl Lectures and Leadership Conference, which will include workshop tracks for clergy, parents, mental health professionals, and activists – more than 35 options to choose from!
Attend a spiritual care roundtable with Dr. Peter Yuichi Clark, get the latest research on families and spirituality with Dr. Annette Mahoney, learn about spiritual care for returning veterans and their families with Rev. Penny Philips and interfaith end of life care with Gina Rose Halpern, discover ways faith communities can partner with nonprofit organizations to support social justice work with the San Francisco Foundation, and find out about the work of the Family Independence Initiative (whose founder/CEO, Maurice Lim Miller, just won the MacArthur Genius Award) and Justice for Families (which just released a landmark report on the juvenile justice system).
Plus: 15 BBS accredited CE contact hours, Theology on Tap, and a special showing of the film “La Mission” featuring a talk with writer/director Peter Bratt.
