About this Event
Lecture Series 2025 Preaching and Migration: Identity, Trauma and Technique
Migration is not just a movement; it is a story of identity, resilience, and faith. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible bears witness to human mobility as an essential part of God’s people’s experience. Throughout history, the Church has walked alongside communities on the move, facing challenges and embracing new opportunities. This is reflected in the life of the Church, where migration has been a constant. Preachers are called to proclaim hope, just as Jesus did amid the trauma caused by human displacement.
This series brings together experts, scholars, theologians, missiologists, pastors, psychologists, anthropologists, ministry leaders, and prophetic voices to explore the intersection between preaching and migration. How can our preaching honor identity in the lived experiences of migrants? How do we address trauma with pastoral sensitivity and theological depth? Join us as we equip, inspire, and challenge one another to be a voice of justice and grace in a world and a Church on the move.
Serie de Conferencias 2025 Predicación y Migración: Identidad, Trauma y Técnica
La migración no es sólo un movimiento; es una historia de identidad, resistencia y fe. Desde el Génesis hasta el Apocalipsis, la Biblia da testimonio de la movilidad humana como parte esencial de la experiencia del pueblo de Dios. A lo largo de la historia, la Iglesia ha caminado junto a comunidades en movimiento, afrontando retos y abrazando nuevas oportunidades. Esto se refleja en la vida de la Iglesia, donde la migración ha sido una constante. Los predicadores están llamados a proclamar la esperanza, como hizo Jesús en medio del trauma causado por los desplazamientos humanos.
Esta serie reúne a expertos, eruditos, teólogos, misionólogos, pastores, psicólogos, antropólogos, líderes ministeriales y voces proféticas para explorar la intersección entre la predicación y la migración. ¿Cómo puede nuestra predicación honrar la identidad en las experiencias vividas por los migrantes? ¿Cómo abordar el trauma con sensibilidad pastoral y profundidad teológica? Únase a nosotros para equiparnos, inspirarnos y desafiarnos mutuamente a ser una voz de justicia y gracia en un mundo y una Iglesia en movimiento.
