Bi-annual Berryman Lecture Series with Dr. Marcia Bunge
Join us for the first bi-annual Berryman Lecture Series with Dr. Marcia Bunge!
Dr. Bunge's talk is entitled, "Honoring Children’s Full Humanity: Berryman’s Sacred Gift, Our Shared Calling."
Building on a robust theological understanding of children that honors their full humanity, Berryman developed a powerful and creative approach to nurturing the spiritual lives of children called Godly Play. His respect for children and their full humanity has been a gift to children, families, and faith leaders worldwide. Yet, despite its reach, narrow assumptions about children persist—in homes, faith communities, and society at large. This lecture highlights elements of Berryman’s theological vision of children and then examines some of the current challenges in the church for honoring children’s full humanity. By noting such challenges and appreciating Berryman's vision, we strengthen our relationships with children and help the church and our world flourish.
We welcome scholars, practitioners, students, and curious persons to join us at this inaugural event, hosted by the Center for the Theology of Childhood.
