Our Divided Political Heart and the Election of 2012 Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne delivered the annual Sorensen Lecture at Yale Divinity School on Nov. 27 on the topic “Our Divided Political Heart and the Election of 2012.” Dionne, a practicing Roman Catholic, is one of the most prominent commentators on the American political scene today and writes and speaks frequently on the subject of faith, values, and politics. The topic of his Nov. 27 talk was a spin-off from the title of his most recent book, Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent (2012).

Youth Ministry and Discerning God’s Action Almost every youth worker was been confronted by the question, “What does God want me/us to do?” Whether around big changes to the ministry itself or around individual young people trying to discern the direction of their lives, we seek to follow God’s leading or God’s will. But how do we go about such processes of discernment? How do we know when it is God leading us and not just our conscience or something else? This presentation will explore a process of discerning with young people that focus on the action and direction of God in their lives. Relationships Unfiltered a re-imagination of relationship ministry with young people “Youth ministry: now” is offered in partnership with Berkeley Divinity School and the Yale Center for Faith and Culture’s Adolescent Faith and Flourishing Project.
