Faculty Convivium | Jews & Christians face Supersessionism: Two peoples, two promises, one God.
RSVP Here
The Rev. Canon Natalie Hall will give a brief overview of the history of supersessionism between Jews and Christians. She will highlight similarities (like one God), departures (like Jesus Christ), and anxieties (like who is saved?) between the two close faiths, then suggest a way forward for the two bodies to exist and engage together. Unlike any other two faith traditions, Jews and Christians have the unique capacity to be faithful in parallel to the unique promises given to each by God and yet enjoy threads of common life now and shared hope for life in the world to come.
The Christian Faculty Convivium creates a space for faculty to meet, collaborate, and foster intellectual friendships. Twice a semester, Beatrice Institute Faculty Fellows host an evening of refreshments and a short talk. Consonant with Beatrice Institute's mission, these gatherings are animated by intellectual friendship and allow area faculty to explore interdisciplinary collaborations and enjoy the company of those who pursue the Beautiful, the Good, and the True.
Spouses and significant others are welcome! Childcare and pizza will be available for little ones in an adjacent room.
This is an open event, so feel free to pass this information along to any local faculty member who might be interested in attending or learning more about Beatrice Institute.
