Honor-Shame Conference 2020 PromoSheet17Feb · The Way Thais Lead Benjamin C. Shin, Associate...
2
Can the gospel of Jesus Christ better engage today’s world—from unreached people groups to secular postmoderns to the global refugee crisis? Can an honorific gospel better address the concerns of peoples grappling with division, tribalism, racism, or nationalism? Will people better understand and receive a gospel message that speaks to: • sin and shame? • cynicism and alienation? • violence and displacement? • defilement and exclusion? • consumerism and emptiness? • lostness in all its dimensions? Join us to explore how honor and shame influence the gospel, the Church, and various other disciplines, including theology, missiology, pastoral ministry, and counseling. The 2017 Honor-Shame Conference gathered 285 people from some 100 organizations at Wheaton. A learning community gathered from North America and around the world. It included professors, pastors, cross-cultural workers, creatives, and other professional practitioners. The 2020 Honor-Shame Conference will build on the 2017 conference. What are the aims of the conference? • Facilitate a networking and learning environment with leaders from a variety of disciplines and nations. • Seed new teams and projects around the world—to engage in research, experimentation and the development of new ministry resources. • Move toward normalizing honor-shame as an essential component of theological and missiological discourse—and gospel contextualization.

Can the gospel of Jesus Christ better engage today’s world—from unreached people groups to secular postmoderns to the global refugee crisis? Can an honorific gospel better address the concerns of peoples grappling with division, tribalism, racism, or nationalism?
Will people better understand and receive a gospel message that speaks to:
• sin and shame? • cynicism and alienation? • violence and displacement? • defilement and exclusion? • consumerism and emptiness? • lostness in all its dimensions?
Join us to explore how honor and shame influence the gospel, the Church, and various other disciplines, including theology, missiology, pastoral ministry, and counseling.
The 2017 Honor-Shame Conference gathered 285 people from some 100 organizations at Wheaton. A learning community gathered from North America and around the world. It included professors, pastors, cross-cultural workers, creatives, and other professional practitioners. The 2020 Honor-Shame Conference will build on the 2017 conference.
What are the aims of the conference? • Facilitate a networking and learning environment with leaders from
a variety of disciplines and nations.
• Seed new teams and projects around the world—to engage in research, experimentation and the development of new ministry resources.
• Move toward normalizing honor-shame as an essential component of theological and missiological discourse—and gospel contextualization.
