http://www.ants.edu/calendar/ en brees@ebree.com Copyright 2014 2014-01-24T13:30:38+00:00 http://www.ants.edu/calendar/end-of-fiscal-year/ http://www.ants.edu/calendar/end-of-fiscal-year/#When:04:58:48Z On May 18, 55 new faith leaders celebrated their graduation from Andover Newton. These recent alumni/ae are the world’s newest visionaries, ministers, chaplains, activists and non-profit leaders. As the class of 2013 heads into the world, the next generation is already at Andover Newton, studying and preparing for their own ministries. In order to support the next generation of faith leaders and scholars, we need to raise $25,000 by the end of the fiscal year on June 30. This goal ensures us that in the coming year:  Our students and faculty will have access to the best resources; Andover Newton will continue to be host to continuing education and community events; and We can continue to be on the cutting edge of ministry leadership. Every gift - regardless of size - shows support for the exceptional education Andover Newton continues to provide. Please visit ants.edu/giving and make your contribution today!

It is often assumed that Nones are atheists or otherwise unreligious (or even irreligious). But the data tell is that this is not the case. The majority of Nones believe in God or a universal spirit and many have robust spiritual practices that are not inconsistent with more progressive Christian traditions and values. The challenge for ministry leaders now is how to understand Nones on their own terms, beyond the data and often over-generalizing commentary and outside religious assumptions about being unaffiliated or unidentified with institutional religion might mean.

Often that happens. But other times people’s bile can be an unwelcome surprise. What then? Difficult behavior occurs. It contributes to unhappy congregations and to ministers losing their jobs.  This workshop aims to support ministers in handling difficult behavior, complaint,  and criticism in ways that enhance the health of the minister and of the congregation.

Few ministers, however, have had the opportunity to learn about providing pastoral support and inspirational liturgy for same-sex couples. Without such training, they borrow from methods they learned for opposite-sex couples, sometimes in ways that are effective, and sometimes in ways that undercut the significant obstacles same-sex couples continue to face. In this day-long workshop participants will be introduced to methods and resources that will enable them to minster effectively and faithfully with same-sex couples as they consider and prepare for marriage or the blessing of their union.

How often is this the foundation of decisions in our congregations? Most of our churches are wedded more to following particular rules for debate and decision-making than they are to prayer. But what if you could find a way to root your board, committee, and congregational decisions in Jesus’ model of prayer and discernment? What if you could train your leaders follow God’s guidance? This two-week seminar will provide the opportunity for you to discover and discuss new ways of being a church grounded in prayer and discernment with Graham Standish, author of Becoming a Blessed Church. .

This two-week seminar will explore those with Robert Dale author of Growing Agile Leaders: Coaching Leaders to Move with Sure-Footedness in a Seismic World (Coach Approach Ministries, 2011) and will include an interactive conference call for all participants.

Deutsch Prize Recipient CARY FRIEDMAN, M.D. Chair, Joint Curriculum Committee/Faculty Executive Committee, BPSI; Clinical Instructor, Harvard Medical School; Private Practice, Cambridge, MA Discussant ETHAN GRUMBACH, Ph.D. Recent Chair, American Psychoanalytic Association Committee on Gender and Sexuality; Faculty, New Center for Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles, CA; Founding Member, THRIVE Infant Family Program; Private Practice, Los Angeles, CA Since Sigmund Freud began his revolutionary text Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality in 1905 with a detailed study of homosexuality, our efforts to understand same-sex attraction and behavior have played a central role in psychoanalytic theory. The paper describes the historical evolution of four psychoanalytic paradigms of male homosexuality: Freud’s search for understanding, homosexuality as illness, homosexuality as health, and the deconstruction of categories of illness and sexuality. A close examination of the underlying assumptions of each paradigm shows the strong influences that cultural context and prejudice have had on psychoanalytic theory. For this program, Dr. Friedman will present new clinical material to illustrate how a deeper understanding of these historical paradigms can enrich our psychoanalytic work with gay men. Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to: Describe the key features of the four psychoanalytic paradigms of homosexuality. Describe how cultural context and prejudice have influenced psychoanalytic theory. Describe how these paradigms influence contemporary psychoanalytic work. References: Corbett, K.
