Join Open Table Faith on Saturday, September 14 for our Fall Lecture: "CHRIST & CULTURE" featuring Rev. Stuart Baskin.ABOUT THE LECTURE:
H. Richard Niebuhr’s classic text CHRIST AND CULTURE, originally published in 1951, is one of the most significant theological and missiological works of the 20th century, offering a memorable categorization of the ways Christians have related to culture throughout history. In this lecture, Rev. Stuart Baskin will engage with the overall themes of the book, reflect on its impact over the last 70+ years, and explore its relevance for theology, church and mission today.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Rev. Stuart Baskin is the Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Tyler, TX. As FPC's resident theologian, Stuart is always game for a good debate and cherishes his calling to teach the faith. A lifelong nerd, he admits to reading theology at bedtime, disappearing down rabbit holes of biblical inquiry, a habit begun at Union Seminary in Richmond. Always on the front line of mission—whether caring for the souls at FPC, promoting interfaith dialogue in Tyler, or taking outreach abroad—Stuart cares deeply about walking through life with folks. His family shares his passion for building community, too: his wife, Amy, works in non-profit development, a path that his older daughter has followed, and his younger daughter works on political campaigns. Rest assured: dinner conversation is never dull!
ABOUT OTF:
Open Table Faith is a ministry initiative of First Christian Church in Tyler that creates safe spaces for honest conversation about God and faith, and encourages spiritual exploration, theological imagination, and compassionate action. We also work to facilitate ecumenical and interfaith dialogue in our community.
