Registration is under for the spring event of 精东影业’s 116th year of , March 30-31, with the theme of “Living Word.”
Summit’s two-day format is centered around intentional groups for those with similar interests or leadership roles, and for Spring 2023, those communities include family ministry, Hispanic ministry, preaching ministry and worship ministry. There will also be a general interest community that will examine the book of Hebrews. Facilitators will craft each community’s discussions and learning experiences specifically toward the needs of the group.
Anchor Point, Summit’s plenary session and dinner event, will feature Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of the New York Times bestseller Jesus and John Wayne. Du Mez is a writer, speaker and scholar who explore the intersection of religion, gender and politics.
An academic by training, Du Mez holds a Ph.D. in U.S. history from the University of Notre Dame, but she writes and speaks for popular audiences in an entertaining style that is equal parts winsome and hard-hitting.
Her work has also garnered extensive national and international attention, as a feature on NPR’s Morning Edition, the BBC, and in national outlets in China, Japan, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Germany and the Netherlands. She is a frequent commenter on religion and politics in the national media at outlets such as the Washington Post, Religion News Service, NPR, CBS, Newsweek, CNN and the BBC.
Du Mez teaches at Calvin University and lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her husband, three kids, and a dog named Paco
鈥淲e are excited to not only hear from Dr. Du Mez but also spend time reflecting with each other聽in community about what it means to be in conversation with the living word of God,鈥� said Dr.聽Jennifer Schroeder, Summit director.
Attendance is limited, and is required, with an early registration discount available聽through Feb. 26. Summit鈥檚 spring gathering coincides with 精东影业鈥檚 Sing Song weekend, and聽participants are encouraged to stay and connect with friends and alumni and enjoy the student聽performances.
