TASS | The Abbey Summer School

Julie Canlis currently teaches at Whitworth University in their theology MA program. She received a Ph.D. in Theology (University of St Andrews), a Masters of Christian Studies (emphasis in Spiritual Theology, Regent College), and has a B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas (University of Washington). Julie wrote her doctoral dissertation in Scotland, a work published as Calvin’s Ladder: A Spiritual Theology of Ascent and Ascension (Eerdmans, 2010), which grapples with Calvin’s vision for the way humanity ‘becomes itself’ by participating in Christ. It won the Templeton Prize for Theological Promise in 2007 and the Christianity Today Award of Merit for Theology in 2011. She is married to Matt, stays at home with their four children, and teaches Sunday School for 6-8 year olds. She is committed to slow food and slow church.

Julie is part of The Abbey Summer School team and will be one of the speakers this summer.

Blog-hibernation

I'm always a bit put off when I visit a blog that hasn't been updated in a long time.  So, coming back to my own blog after nearly four years of blog-hibernation....well, I stand in my own judgement.  Anywho, on we blog.

Heading to this event today.

New Reads from IVP

Let me share these three titles I just received from InterVarsity Press. They just arrived (early Christmas!) so more review is forthcoming...

The Kindlings

Came across this site, The Kindlings, and wanted to link you in HERE. Take a snoop.

Recommended Reads // David Benner

Shelves can certainly be filled with books on spiritual formation & spiritual direction (he says to himself) and perhaps it is hard to sort through the mix. With that in mind, let me commend to you David Benner (BA, McMaster; MA & PhD, York).

"Dr. Benner was the founding Director of the Institute for Psychospiritual Health (Toronto), founding Chair of the Graduate Department of Psychological Studies at Wheaton College (Wheaton, Illinois), Founding Executive Editor of the journal, Conversations, and a founding member (Charter Member) of the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality Disorder (subsequently, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation). He has been an Associate Fellow (Psychology and Spirituality) at The Centre for Studies in Religion and Society, University of Victoria (Victoria, British Columbia) and served as Distinguished Author in Residence at the Carey Centre, University of British Columbia. Currently he serves as Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Spirituality at Psychological Studies Institute, Richmont Graduate University (Atlanta, Georgia) and as Consulting Psychologist for GAP Adventures – a global adventure tour company.

Beyond his work in psychology and spirituality, David’s other principal interests are sailing, cycling, jazz, and hiking. He and his wife, Juliet Benner, live on Vancouver Island in Canada where they are actively involved in the leadership and life of Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria." (source)

I have the four books shown below and have come across free audio of some of his speaking engagements--take a look & listen.

CHURCH: Emergent...Traditional...or Deep

Here's a link to a new addition to the reading room--Deep Church by Jim Belcher (pastor + author; M.A., Fuller; Ph.D., Georgetown).

If you are exhausted, annoyed, confused, or new to the "what is Church" dialogue (or more specifically...Emergent vs Traditional) you may find Deep Church a helpful resource.
