Public Theology Symposium

January 7, 2023 Seeking Shalom (Peace)

The symposium seeks to inspire Christians and church leaders to rediscover their vision and mission, with a focus not only on their obligation in pursuing shalom and the common good for the society in which God places us, but also on fostering dialogue concerning public issues and within the community.

March 1, 2024 Bridging the Chasm: Christians and Political Engagement

The symposium featured experts who addressed key topics, including the development of a Christian worldview on political engagement, the challenges posed by social media, and the need for innovative biblical training in both church and seminary settings. The discussions also focused on how Christians should engage with the world, live out their faith, apply biblical teachings, and discern societal needs. Furthermore, the symposium explored ways in which believers can navigate political differences while upholding a commitment to justice and compassion.

Public Theology Seminars

February 11, 2023 How Christians Respond to Crisis

In response to the mass shooting in Monterey Park, CA on January 21, 2023, CESNA immediately organized this seminar to help believers respond to sudden crises such as the shooting. The seminar explored the responses from four aspects: theology, spiritual emotion, pastoral care, and counseling. It provides Christians and church leaders assistance to deal with the emotional and spiritual traumas in life.
