of Tomorrow
April 11–14, 2012 • Unity
Village, MO
Listen, learn and join the
conversation as leading speakers
and scholars, Unity Institute
faculty and selected students
explore issues affecting the
church of tomorrow.
Visit
beautiful
Unity Village
in the springtime, and soak
up knowledge and insight from
esteemed workshop presenters and
keynote speaker Matthew Fox, a
spiritual theologian whose views
have long sparked controversy.
Fox,
author of 30 books, has been
working with young people to
reinvent forms of worship by
bringing elements of rave, such
as dance, DJ and VJ, into the
Western liturgy. The “Cosmic
Mass” has been celebrated over
90 times and in dozens of cities
in North America. Fox will speak
toward what new generations are
seeking in a church and in their
spiritual lives.
In
addition, enjoy
thought-provoking academic
papers presented by selected
students and scholars on themes
with global implications in
spirituality, theology, pastoral
studies, theological ethics,
world religions, history, and
metaphysical Christianity.
