Good morning,
Bethany College values its relationship with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Our Buffalo Seminary, a joint ministry of the College and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in West Virginia, has provided a number of programs each year to benefit a wide audience. Last year, over 300 students enrolled in Buffalo Seminary of Bethany College courses.
I am writing to call your attention to several programs offered this spring:
On Feb. 24, the Rev. Dr. Todd Adams, Associate General Minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), will present “Church Leadership: Best Practices” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m at Bethany Memorial Church. Dr. Adams will be leading and teaching on the art of church administration, best understood as pastoral care for the church. Dr. Adams is regarded as a leading practitioner and teacher in the areas of stewardship.
A two-day workshop, “Exploring Resurrection in the Synoptic Gospels,” will be held March 16 and 17 at the College's Mountainside Conference Center. The Rev. Bonnie B. Thurston, noted local author, retreat leader, seminary professor and lecturer, will present this workshop in preparation for Easter. The schedule is as follows:
March 16
