Free Upcoming Events at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
Friends - Pittsburgh Theological Seminary invites you to join us for the following free events. All take place on our campus - we hope you can join us! Free Archaeology Lecture: Thurs., Sept. 26, 7:30 p.m. - The Mesha Stele and the Biblical World in the 9th Century BCE<https://www.pts.edu/Archaeology-Lectures> with Andre Lemaire, Emeritus Directeur d'Études at the History and Philology section of the École Pratique des Hautes Études, The Sorbonne, Paris. The Mesha Stele remains one of the jewels of West Semitic epigraphy and probably the inscription that throws the greatest light on the Hebrew Bible and the history of the southern Levant in this period. Free Lecture: Tues., Oct. 1, 4:00 p.m. - Lifestyles of the Rich and Faithful: Confronting Classism in Mission - W. Don McClure Lecture in World Mission and Evangelism<https://www.pts.edu/McClure-2019> with Al Tizon, executive minister of Serve Globally, the international ministries arm of the Evangelical Covenant Church. In light of the rich-poor gap that defines the reality of our world, how can we align our lifestyles and mission practices with God's special concern for the poor? Based on an image of Christ among the classes, this presentation proposes ways toward economic Christlikeness in our lives, churches, and organizations. Free Conversations and Community Series Event: Thurs., Oct. 10, 9:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. The American Religious Landscape<https://www.pts.edu/Religious-Landscape-1920> - Religion and the U.S. Context: Part 1 with Jim Gilchrist, Retired Pastor, PC(USA). Being an effective faith leader and a good neighbor involves knowing how to navigate this changing landscape socially and theologically. Join us for an introduction to this work and to some of the faith traditions which comprise our region. There will be five parts to the series. You can register for one or more session. Future topics in the series include Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, and Religion and the U.S. Context: Part 2. Advance registration is required.
