Woodbury Workshop 2010: Emerging Leadership for an Emerging World

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Contact: Jen Walker, or 617-964-1100 ext. 316.

The leadership skills that once led to success in the church don’t insure much of anything any more, except perhaps exhaustion and burnout. Being a preacher, teacher, counselor, caregiver, administrator, program planner, Biblical scholar, historian, ethicist and theologian all rolled into one doesn’t do it either. There’s a new world emerging and a different kind of ministerial leadership is needed for that world.

This year’s Woodbury Workshop, featuring the innovative Christian leader Brian McLaren, will explore the new demands and dimensions of leadership in the church. It will help you develop a clearer understanding of the practices that are essential to effective and faithful leadership.

Schedule:

Thursday, February 4:

• 1:00 Registration begins
• 2:00 – 4:00 Opening Worship, followed by: Session 1: What’s Emerging? with Sarah Drummond and Jeff Jones
• 7:30 – 9:00 Session 2: Open Presentation by Brian McLaren (First Baptist Church in Newton)

Friday, February 5:

• 9:00 – 12:00 Morning Worship Session 3 with Brian McLaren
• 12:00 – 1:30 Free Time– Bookstore Open
• 1:30 – 2:30 Small group sessions
• 2:30 – 3:00 Break
• 3:00 – 4:30 Session 4 with Brian McLaren

The registration fee is $175 ($160 if payment is received before December 11, 2009). For a printable registration form and brochure, please click here. A continental breakfast and lunch on Friday are included in the registration fee.

Housing: We have reserved a limited number of rooms for workshop participants at the Walker Center, located a short drive from the Andover Newton campus. For further information or to make a room reservation, please contact Jen Walker at , or 617-964-1100 x316.

Icons of the Civil Rights Movement

8:00 am

Location: Sarly Interfaith Unity Gallery, Wilson Chapel

through April 11, 2010

This exhibition of the work of artist Pamela Chatterton-Purdy was inspired by a lifetime’s involvement with the American Civil Rights Movement. It was organized in 2008 to mark the 40th year since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That year the exhibition traveled that entire year to over 20 Colleges, Universities and schools. The exhibition is free and open to the public daily.

A free public opening reception with the artist will be held on February 9, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, concurrently with an opening reception for A Narrative of Life and Glory, on view in the Meetinghouse Gallery.

Most of the works in Icons of the Civil Rights Movement were created in a few months in 2008. Chatterton-Purdy used oils, gold leaf, and handmade paper and wooden frames from a local dump near her Cape Cod home. The subjects include Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Emmett Till, and other figures from the Civil Rights era.

Icons of the Civil Rights Movement has previously been seen at schools and colleges throughout New England, including Brandeis University’s Intercultural Center, Gordon College, and the Department of Africana Studies at Brown University. In January 2009, the exhibtiion was on display in Washington DC for the Inauguration of the first African American President Barack Obama.  It continues to be exhibited into 2010.

A Narrative of Life and Glory: Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony

8:00 am

Location: Meetinghouse Gallery

through April 11, 2010

This exhibition of Gloucester, MA, painter Gordon Goetemann features fifteen works inspired by the the German composer Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, first performed in Berlin in 1895 and known as the “Resurrection” Symphony because it reflects the composer’s ideas about the afterlife. The exhibition is free and open to the public daily.

A free public opening reception with the artist will be held on February 9, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, concurrently with an opening reception for Icons of the Civil Rights Movement, on view in the Sarly Interfaith Unity Gallery in Wilson Chapel.

Goetemann first encountered Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony while completing an M.F.A. at the University of Iowa. The composition addresses themes which Goetemann believes are relevant in today’s culture: the quest to find freedom in the face of adversity; courage in the face of dislocation; and eternal life in the face of human decay. Inspired by Mahler’s work for much of his career, he has worked on his visual interpretation of the symphony in this series of paintings for more than five years.

Foreign Movie Night: “Bandits”

5:00 pm

Location: Wilson Chapel

Foreign movie nights feature films produced in the native countries of Andover Newton international students. The screening is followed by a potluck dinner.

Tonight’s feature is from Germany: Inka Scherhans’ “Bandits,” a face-paced rock-and-roll road movie about the exploits of a female band on the run.

Four women behind bars with nothing in common except their love for rock music form a jailhouse band as part of their rehabilitation.

On the night of their first gig at a police banquet, the women overpower a sadistic guard and escape into the night. An agent, who had originally rejected their demo, launches their tape onto the public and overnight they become media sensations. As the rebels become more successful than their wildest dreams, the police step up their hot pursuit. But it’s hard to keep a low profile when your music and video are everywhere.

This event is open to everyone; no admissions fee. Please bring a dish to share!
