Description

Registration is now open for the 2012 event, "Form/Reform: Cultivating Christian Leaders." Join Fuller Theological Seminary president Richard J. Mouw, author Andy Crouch, theologian Sarah Coakley, and pastor Prince Rivers in exploring ways for pastors and professors to shape Christians for leadership in an increasingly diverse and evolving social landscape.

The annual Convocation & Pastors’ School is an intensive two-day conference that offers lectures, worship, and seminars for Christian leaders of all traditions. Led by scholars and practitioners from Duke and beyond, this event is a cooperative endeavor with the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences of the United Methodist Church and The Duke Endowment. The convocation also includes alumni gatherings. Pastors and laity of churches eligible for grants from The Duke Endowment may attend at a reduced rate.
