2017 Duke Summer Institute for Reconciliation

Come expand your theological imagination, grapple with practical problems, and be equipped to continue a journey of reconciliation within a wider community.
Our focus on reconciliation is grounded in a distinctively Christian vision and a framework that is richly practical, contextual, and theological. Rooted in Duke Divinity School's conviction that reconciliation is at the heart of the gospel, the Summer Institute for Reconciliation draws on the strengths of a faculty of world-class scholars and practitioners. The institute is nurtured by the deepening formation, teaching, and content of a biblical vision of reconciliation that inspires and ferments a movement of transformed communities and relationships. This formation of communities is nurtured by each other's witness that Christ is strengthening us to the end, affirming us so that we do not "lack any spiritual gift" in our life together (1 Corinthians 1: 4-9).
