    A Conversation about Advocacy and Racial Equity for Churches

    Many congregations have been dialoguing in the wake of racial violence in the United States this past year about what it looks like for us to work toward racial justice and equity. Mission and advocacy work has long been a part of the DNA of Williamsburg Baptist Church, but our church still struggles like so many to figure out how best to serve and work toward a more racially just world. Listen in as our pastor, Art Wright, dialogues with Mark Snipes about what it looks like for predominantly white churches to become advocates for racial equity in our communities and nation. We think you’ll find Mark’s stories and ideas tremendously helpful! Rev. Mark Snipes is the Associate Coordinator for CBF Virginia. Rev. Dr. Art Wright is the senior pastor at Williamsburg Baptist Church. To find out more about CBF Virginia, visit cbfva.org.

    The violence in our nation’s capital on January 6, 2021 was jarring for so many of us. It has been a particularly difficult moment for churches and pastors as they try to figure out how to understand and respond to this shocking and politically divisive moment. In this podcast, Barrett Owen and Art Wright discuss the violence, how they responded (or struggled to respond) as pastors, how members of their congregations reacted, and how they imagine moving forward as people of faith in the context of this difficult moment in American history.  Rev. Barrett Owen is the Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church in Waynesboro, VA.  Rev. Dr. Art Wright is the Senior Pastor at Williamsburg Baptist Church in Williamsburg, VA.

    Nurturing Faith in Community (with Terry Maples)

    Art Wright talks with Terry Maples about Nurturing Faith in Community, a new CBFVA resource for congregations. Nurturing Faith is a curriculum written by Terry, in which he proposes a paradigm shift for the way in which Christians and congregations approach spiritual formation. In this conversation, Art and Terry reflect on the nature of faith, the role of the congregation in faith formation, and what it will take for churches to break out of older, patterned approaches to discipleship. It is a wonderful, rich conversation. We hope that once you’ve listened, you will also take a look at the Nurturing Faith curriculum available for download on CBFVA’s website and consider how you might use it in your congregation!

    Churches, Clergy, and Family Systems Theory in the COVID-19 Era (April 27, 2020)

    Drs. Tracy Hartman and Steve Booth join Art Wright to discuss the challenge of leading churches right now. Tracy and Steve share insights gleaned from Family Systems Theory to encourage and support pastors and key leaders in congregations. The pandemic has ramped up anxiety in congregations and caused a great deal of personal and communal fear, especially due to the rapid changes that have taken place in society and in how churches function now. Leaders who are able to manage their own anxiety and reactions well in this stressful period will be better situated to steer their congregations through these difficult times and the eventual challenge of returning to a “new normal.” Steve Booth is the Associate Pastor for Christian Formation at Richmond’s First Baptist Church Tracy Hartman is currently serving as Intentional Interim Pastor at Farmville Baptist Church Art Wright is the Theologian in Residence for CBFVA
