Regional & Other GroupsLutheran EthicistsPacific SectionPCUSA Social Ethics NetworkTask Force on ContingencyUniversity of Chicago WritersWesleyan/Methodist EthicistsConveners Augsburg College Christensen Center on Vocation [email protected] The Lutheran Ethicists Gathering is an annual event sponsored by the Department for Studies of the Church in Society program unit of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The two-day gathering fosters scholarship and dialog on topics of interest to participants with particular, though not exclusive, attention paid to themes and insights from within Lutheran traditions of thought as they intersect with discourse in the academy and challenges within the church.
Pacific SectionConvenersJonathan Rothchild Loyola Marymount University [email protected] Each annual meeting of the Pacific Section, held a Friday in February, affords an opportunity for six or seven scholars to present their work as well as the president of the SCE to give an informal presentation of his or her research. Presenters who are SCE members are eligible to submit their work for review by the JSCE.
PCUSA Social Ethics NetworkConveners Letitia Campbell Presbyterian Ethicists meet at SCE to discuss academic and denominational matters of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and for an update on current developments in social witness in the PCUSA and our Reformed relatives. SCE members participating on study commissions and serving as consultant writers for the denomination report on their projects. The impacts of church/seminary/college changes are discussed. Seminary and college ethicists comprise most of the group "Social Ethics Network" (or SEN--formerly "Theological Educators for Presbyterian Social Witness") which helps connect the academy to the denomination and the General Assembly, informing the life of congregations through policy studies and reports. The group sometimes meets in churches near the SCE annual meeting site. Liaison is provided by the Advisory Committee on Social Witness Policy, [email protected]. Task Force on ContingencyConveners Matthew Gaudet University of Chicago WritersConveners Matthew Petrusek In an effort to continue the distinct approach to ethics developed over the years at the University of Chicago Divinity School, the University of Chicago Writers Group was started in the early 1990's to enable graduates of the Divinity School's ethics programs to gather each year to discuss new and on-going projects. The group gathers on Thursday afternoon prior to the full SCE meeting schedule to discuss members' work distributed in advance. SCE members who are U. of C. graduates and would like to join the group are encouraged to contact the conveners. Wesleyan/Methodist EthicistsConveners Bradley Burroughs This group was formed within the SCE of those members 1) who work within any of the various ecclesial traditions rooted in the evangelical renewal movement begun by John Wesley, or, 2) theological and ethical reflection is shaped by distinctly Wesleyan perspectives. |
