SCHEDULE FOR PITTSBURGH

The Sacred Way: Developing Spiritual Practices with Teens (and Youth Workers)
(Seminar Series #4)
Nov 2 1:30 PM-3:00 PM
Pittsburgh

A lot of us are good at teaching the Bible and telling kids how important it is to pray. But do we teach them *how* to pray? For two thousand years, followers of Christ have endeavored to have a personal devotional life with Jesus. This seminar will dig deep into that treasury of classical Christianity for some of the great gems of our faith, such as lectio divina, centering prayer, and the Stations of the Cross.

The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier
(Seminar Series #5)
Nov 2 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
Pittsburgh

The adventurous theological and ecclesiological ways of the emergents have caused great joy in some quarters and great consternation in others. These top 10 dispatches from the emergent frontier will help clear up some of the confusion and surely provoke robust dialogue around issues that youth workers care about.
