Conservative Anabaptism and the Arts | January 30, 2010

Faith Builders Resource Group is planning a one-day colloquy focused on Anabaptists and the arts.  This colloquy, or conversation, is structured in two sessions.  The first session will focus on articulating and evaluating the current conservative Anabaptist beliefs and values regarding aesthetics as evidenced by our choices and pursuits.  The second session will consider the implications of an aesthetic informed by Anabaptism for specific artistic categories.  Each session will include presentations by several speakers followed by a roundtable discussion including the speakers and several other men.  Not all speaker assignments are finalized, but complete details will be available in the winter newsletter.

Mennonite School Services (a division of Faith Builders Resource Group) is planning a weekend retreat for school administrators in March 2010.  This retreat will provide opportunities for school administrators to develop connections with other school administrators and to grow as administrators.  If you are interested in attending this retreat or wish to talk with someone about the weekend, please contact us.  More information will be published in the winter newsletter and posted to the blog.  This event will replace the March workshop for 2010.
