2008 Mennonite Graduate Student Conference

The Church

Sponsored by the Toronto Mennonite Theological Centre

Studies of the church have come from theological but also political, social and literary perspectives, to name a few. Papers on the church will be presented by graduate Anabaptist-Mennonite students from a variety of disciplines. Approaches may include, but need not be limited to:

• The church as a social reality (from psychological, sociological, or political science perspectives).
• The church in society (historical, theological, political, or interfaith perspectives).
• The church in literature (the church within a particular genre - drama, poetry, novel; or author – e.g. Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky)
• The ministries of the church (homiletics, liturgical studies, missiology, conflict resolution).
• The church particular (e.g. an era of history, location, or denomination).
• The role of philosopher, actor, New Testament scholar, politician, poet, and atheist in the church.
• The church catholic (ecumenism, the rising church of the southern hemisphere)
