Five–week series beginning SUN, OCT 2 | 9:45 AM & 5:30 PM

How does theology inform our faithful engagement of politics? With increasing politicization and social divisions, Christians find themselves in need of understanding the role of theology and the church in expressing a faithful political presence. This seminar series aims to highlight key features of a Christian theology that informs Christian faithfulness in a time of political upheaval. This series does not endorse any candidates or political parties, but aims to help Christians think theologically. Guest speakers include Vincent Bacote (Wheaton), James Hunter (University of Virginia), and Amy Black (Wheaton). Click below to watch a video of Mark Booker and Michael Balboni discuss this series, which will run throughout Sundays in October. For more information and to register, follow the link below. Please note: Only registrants will receive seminar materials.

SUN, OCT 23 | 12:30 PM | Welcome Center

As we encounter people with disabilities, how do Christians move from attitudes of mere inclusion to deeper practices of belonging? How may embracing relationships with the disability community teach the church about God’s nature and purposes?

Join us for lunch, prayer and discussion for this kickoff event hosted by Enable Boston. Dr. Sarah Barton (Assistant Professor and occupational therapist at Duke University) and author of Becoming the Baptized Body: Disability & the Practice of Christian Community will join us.

Lunch is provided and RSVP is required (see button below).

We would also love for you to join Enable Boston on an ongoing basis as we provide volunteers for children and adults with disabilities and their families as part of our ministry at Park Street Church, supporting their spiritual development and participation in church life activities. Individualized training is provided.

It will also provide some time for our leaders to share updates.

The Town Hall will begin at 7:00 PM at Park Street Church and will be capped at a total attendance of 40 people in order to make more dialogue possible. If you attended the town hall on Sep 27, please refrain from attending the October town hall to make room for others.  Registration via Realm is required. Please RSVP below.
