PIT: Jesus: The Peace that Matters
Christians today often extend the peace of Christ to each other. Does that matter? If so how? It may be hard to say precisely what we are doing when we pass the peace of Christ, but no one will argue that Jesus had much to say about peace and that his presence embodied the unique peace of God. And somehow his followers are invited into his peace.

Refreshing Winds, A Biennial Conference on Worship & Music
Here in This Place, Worship in Context
Sponsored by CMU’s Institute for Theology and the Church
Worship always takes place, some place, some where, at some time, in some location...
Come join us in exploring what it means to worship in cultural context. The theme was inspired by the title of a well-known hymn based on
Genesis 28:16-17. It reminds us that God is found in surprising places. “This place” is many places, and any place on our planet, wherever people are open to being surprised by God’s presence. And wherever that place is, we are called to live our faith mindful of the culture in which we are located.
Our goal is to recognize the importance of context and culture in our worship, to explore and understand how our culture impacts us, what culture means in our theology, and how worship is embodied in location.
Whether you are a lay person, pastor, church music director, or church musician, please join us for a multi-layered and ecumenical exploration of this theme and engage with others in workshops and clinics to hone practical skills for effective leading and ministry.
