WIM on Wednesday Bible Study: "I See You, Sis"
2021-06-23 19:00 - 20:00
Sister, are you ready to effect change in your life — and your world — as a follower of Jesus?

A look at the stories of women from the Bible reveals that the issues they faced weren’t all that different from the heart issues with which women still wrestle today — being hidden or forgotten, trying to live up to an impossible ideal, struggling with difficult relationships, and waiting for God’s deliverance and favor. Now, come alongside both well-known and obscure women from the Bible to learn more about God’s plan to bless your own life!
Reverend Tisha Williams, a Brooklyn native, began serving as the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Bridgehampton in Bridgehampton, New York, in 2018 and is the creator of Who’s That Lady? Ministries, a global women’s ministry movement curated to inspire all women to live full, authentic, and passionate lives. As “Reverend Tish,” a gifted natural communicator, shares her heart, you will be encouraged by amazing biblical women who have a message for you, including:

Hannah, who discovered she had never been forgotten by the God who provides
Bathsheba, who went from a questionable past to a woman of virtue
Euodias and Syntyche, church leaders who were stuck in a seemingly hopeless conflict
Rahab, who waited for God’s deliverance from the place of the enemy
The daughters of Zelophehad, who boldly laid claim to their inheritance

Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions and suggested action steps to help you apply the timeless truths of these women’s stories to your life in the 21st century.
Are you ready to put aside the demons and difficulties of your past to embrace the victorious future and inheritance God intends? Read I See You, Sis to discover the lives of the women hiding in plain sight within the Bible — and be inspired to heroism in the story God has written especially for you!
This event is sponsored by the Women in Ministry (WIM) Initiative of Princeton Theological Seminary.

World Christianity Virtual Conference
2021-03-03 12:00 - 2021-03-06 12:00
The third international, interdisciplinary virtual conference organized by The World Christianity & History of Religions Program (Department of History & Ecumenics)

Recent decades mark a significant watershed in the study of world Christianity as an emerging field, its development into an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary endeavor in particular. Reflection on the complexity of Christianity as a pluricultural, global phenomenon has become robust. Framed loosely in terms of the seminal insights of Dale Irvin, who conceptualizes the study of world Christianity as a crossing of three borders — borders of culture, borders of confession, and borders of religion — our first two conferences (in 2018 and 2019) focused on historiography and ethnography, leaving other religions as the last of three major subfields still to be examined. This March, the World Christianity Virtual Conference will explore Christianity’s interactions with other faiths.
Delving into the premise that Christianity never emerges cross-culturally from a vacuum but always reciprocally in a variety of global contexts already conditioned by preexisting religions (whether African, Amerindian, Caribbean, Chinese, Indian, or Islamic, to mention but a few of the myriad possibilities), the conference seeks to reflect on the state of the field, critique past practices, and explore innovative approaches that push the edge on world Christianity scholarship. For attendees and speakers alike, the conference provides an interdisciplinary space for intellectual encounter and exchange.
ConvenersAfe Adogame, professor of religion and societyRaimundo Barreto, associate professor of world ChristianityRichard F. Young, associate professor of the history of religions

World Christianity Virtual Conference 2021
2021-03-03 00:00 - 2021-03-06 23:59
The third international, interdisciplinary virtual conference organized by The World Christianity & History of Religions Program (Department of History & Ecumenics)

Recent decades mark a significant watershed in the study of world Christianity as an emerging field, its development into an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary endeavor in particular. Reflection on the complexity of Christianity as a pluricultural, global phenomenon has become robust. Framed loosely in terms of the seminal insights of Dale Irvin, who conceptualizes the study of world Christianity as a crossing of three borders — borders of culture, borders of confession, and borders of religion — our first two conferences (in 2018 and 2019) focused on historiography and ethnography, leaving other religions as the last of three major subfields still to be examined. This March, the World Christianity Virtual Conference will explore Christianity’s interactions with other faiths.
Delving into the premise that Christianity never emerges cross-culturally from a vacuum but always reciprocally in a variety of global contexts already conditioned by preexisting religions (whether African, Amerindian, Caribbean, Chinese, Indian, or Islamic, to mention but a few of the myriad possibilities), the conference seeks to reflect on the state of the field, critique past practices, and explore innovative approaches that push the edge on world Christianity scholarship. For attendees and speakers alike, the conference provides an interdisciplinary space for intellectual encounter and exchange.
