The Justice Conference

New Wine had a great time at The Justice Conference February 24 – 25 in Portland, OR. We loved interacting with you at our booth and at the panel Dr. Metzger led. Speaking of the panel – what a group! Such insightful leaders, sharing about their experiences with justice, race, gentrification, and the land. Good news! The Justice Conference has made available video from the pre-conference sessions for free, including this panel. Click here to watch Dr. Paul Louis Metzger facilitate Dr. John M. Perkins, Jeri Williams, Dr. Randy S. Woodley, John G. Canda, Rev. Dr. Leroy Haynes, Jr., and Steve Hanamura interact on matters of “Justice, Race, Gentrification, and the Land”.

And hanging with Dr. Perkins? Always a highlight. Video of Dr. Paul Louis Metzger’s interview with Dr. John M. Perkins during a plenary session address at The Justice Conference is available here for $2.99.

Our heartfelt thanks to Cornelia Becker Seigneur for capturing some of these memories for us!

Gospel, Church and Culture Workshop

Dr. Paul Louis Metzger and Dr. Brad Harper spoke about how the church is to minister in culture as the triune God’s kingdom community. Their talks were based on their forthcoming book with Brazos: Exploring Ecclesiology: An Evangelical and Ecumenical Introduction (2009).  Metzger and Harper addressed such questions as “What is the gospel?”  “What should the church’s relation to culture be?” and “What difference does it make for the church in its ministry in the broader culture that it is the triune God’s kingdom community?” 

Tony Kriz will served as the MC for the workshop.  He led an ample Q&A session during the proceedings. 

As Christ-followers committed to Christ’s church’s missional outreach, it is important that we exegete rightly the Bible as well as the culture into which we seek to communicate the gospel. 

Conference audio recording are now available! Click below to download the talks and join us as we continue to wrestle with these important issues.
