    Borderlands Session 7: The Pastor as Manager, The Church as Business. Exploring Leadership from a Theological Perspective

    The Pastor as Manager, The Church as Business. Exploring leadership from a theological perspective. Join us for a night of conversation with Rahel Siebald as she reflects on relevant questions in relation to leadership in the church and society. Abstract: We live in a time, where it has become normal to look at activities inside and outside the church from the viewpoint of efficiency. We are used to talk about “Self-Management,” to build up “leadership skills” and “teamwork,” and to ask for the best and most efficient method to do things – in order to reach more people in less time, to make the most out of our resources. This way of thinking didn’t stop at the doors of the church. But what does happen to the church, if we think the pastor needs to become a better leader and churches should be managed like the business next door? Together we want to take time to understand the origins of our time as the age of management and ask how that has shaped and changed our understanding of being church. HOW TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION: 1. As the first section of this encounter, you can listen to Rahel Siebald introduction and talk on her topic, provided on the following podcast: 2.

    Borderlands Session 4: "Stairway to Heaven: A Conversation about Christian Spatial Imaginations and the Production of Disabilities"

    Stairway to Heaven: A Conversation about Christian Spatial Imaginations and the Production of Disabilities Guest Speaker: Rev. Topher Endress Abstract: In the wake of COVID-19, the virtual turn undertaken by a vast majority of churches highlights the ways in which Christian space changes over time. Given that one commonly held conception of ‘disability’ from within critical disability studies is how embodiment fits in relation to one’s spatial environment, it is worth asking the question of how Christian spatial practices and imaginations intersect with and help produce current understandings of what a disability is - and therefore, what it means. In this talk, I will highlight how the broad genealogy of disabilities can be understood as an expression of Christian space. This will be done first through an overview of the replacement of leper’s colonies with poor houses and ‘madhouses,’ and second, through an analysis of how the spatial logics inherent to Christian theology have produced and enforced particular relationships between bodies and God. This becomes important for the Church today when seeking ethical action regarding how to best address questions of practical and virtual spaces which disproportionately impact disabled bodies. Borderlands: conversations between church and city is associated with the Aberdeen Methodist Church. The group seeks to bring theological reflection in dialogue with public issues. Connect with us on Facebook. Rev. Topher Endress is an ordained minister from the United States, currently tutor at the University of Aberdeen and PhD candidate in Christian Ethics.

    Session 1: The disruptive abundance of the Eucharist

    For Bon Accord Theologique's inaugural session,  Julie Land will lead a conversation on the Eucharist,  friendship, and disability. The disruptive abundance of the Eucharist. Disability and 1 Corinthians 11.17-34 Join us for a night of conversation with Julie Land as she reflects on what the Eucharist shows us about how we might relate to one another. Here's a description of the evening's paper: The Eucharist (or Lord’s Supper) challenges developments in society that judge the worth of persons on their ability to meet society’s prized values of achievement, consumption, and production. When persons do not meet these aims, they are identified as problems.  Against these problematic norms, this paper draws on Paul's letter to the Corinthians to argue that people with profound intellectual disabilities, who are often placed on the social margins of both church and society, have much to teach the church about the Eucharist, about what it means to gather and be with one another. Bon Accord Theologique is associated with the Aberdeen Methodist Church. The group seeks to bring theological reflection in dialogue with public issues. Connect with us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @AbdnMethodist.  Julie M. Land is a doctoral student in divinity at the University of Aberdeen. Her research develops a theology of friendship grounded in the Eucharist. Marty Phillips is a doctoral student in divinity at the University of Aberdeen.  #BonAccordThéologique - Team
