An interview with Milan Homola executive director of Compassion Connect, an organization whose goal is to demonstrate the love of Christ through cultivating healthy communities.
Milan and I explore aspects of the New Wine, New Wineskins paradigm and how Compassion Connect is uniting local churches to serve their neighborhood at a most crucial time.
New Wine, New Wineskins Director, Dr. Paul Louis Metzger, interviewed Dr. Daniel A. Siedell of the University of Nebraska at Omaha about his work. Dr. Siedell is Assistant Professor of Art and Art History, and the author of God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art (Cultural Exegesis) (Baker Academic, 2008). Here is a link to his bio page: http://www.unomaha.edu/fineart/art/siedell.html
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.
