SUMMARY:A Day at Iliff - A Pre-Conference Retreat for Your Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 10\, 2025\n1:30 PM – Evening Dinner Keynote\nĚđąĎĘÓƵ\, Denver\, CO\nJoin Iliff and the Mountain Sky Conference of The UMC for an afternoon of transformation\, learning\, connection\, and inspiration at “Day at Iliff\,” a special pre-conference gathering hosted by the Compelling Preaching Initiative in partnership with ĚđąĎĘÓƵ\, ahead of the 2025 Mountain Sky Annual Conference. In this dynamic gathering\, preaching and pastoral leaders will explore the intersections of creativity\, care\, and communication through three rich workshop experiences—all designed to inspire more compelling and life-giving proclamation. \nWORKSHOP SESSIONS\n1:30 PM – “Fostering Creativity in Preaching”\nRev. Dr. Lee Butler\nThis session will discuss creativity as a playful approach to biblical interpretation.  Focusing on biblical narratives as the foundation for considering human transformation\, the sermonic communications of God’s love will be grounded in psychological theories to help engage the text as a living Divine and human document. \n3:15 p.m. – “Resilient Leadership – Lessons from Grief\, Crisis\, and Connection” \nMeredith Parfet\, MA Pastoral and Spiritual Care\, MBA\nThis workshop challenges ministers and leaders to rethink how we approach crisis—not as a disruption to manage\, but as a transformative opportunity.  We will explore how grief manifests in many forms and offers practical frameworks for holding necessary but often stigmatized conversations\, particularly around death and loss. Grounded in real self care practices from the Iliff Death Care Collective\, this session empowers faith leaders to guide their communities with greater compassion and clarity\, even in difficult times. \n5:00 PM – “Storytelling in New Social Spaces” (Keynote & Dinner)\nRev. Dr. Amanda Henderson\nWe all know that stories are the key to reaching people and catalyzing personal and social transformation. But how do we reach people in a media context of soundbites and doom scrolling? In this interactive\, multi-media session\, we will explore the power of storytelling utilizing multiple media platforms and take away tips for both tech-savvy and tech-wary storytellers. \nDinner will be provided during this final session—come hungry for both food and insight! \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:The Institute on Theology and Disability
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date!\nInstitute on Theology and Disability\nJune 16-18\, 2025\nĚđąĎĘÓƵ  \nREGISTER HERE \nThe Institute on Theology and Disability (ITD) is an accessible and inclusive three-day fully hybrid gathering of leading scholars\, writers\, faith leaders\, disabled advocates\, lay leaders\, and others committed to advancing inclusive ministries and faith supports. Each year ITD fosters diverse and authentic interfaith conversations at the intersection of theology and disability. Practically\, this looks like collectively engaging in plenary sessions\, workshops\, and networking; offering a PhD seminar for current doctoral students; and providing a community day to connect more deeply with organizations within the host city. The Institute celebrates\, explores\, and investigates the ways that:\n \n\nDisability impacts all major theological disciplines and the many dimensions of religious life and faith community practices.\nTheology and practice mutually inform and support one another.\nDiverse perspectives enrich and inform theological formation and religious practice.\n\n\nWe are excited that this year’s Institute on Theology and Disability will be held at ĚđąĎĘÓƵ June 16-18\, 2025.  \nWe are looking forward to a dynamic group of plenary speakers this year\, including Miriam Spies\, Robert Monson\, Isaac Soon\, Louise Gosbell\, Josh Hanan\, emerging scholar Callie Micale\, and an interfaith panel. \nOur program includes various afternoon workshops as well\, including presentations by several Iliff students.
