WV-WMD is offering an event this February, titled, “Sharing the Gospel in the ‘Age of the Spirit,'” with The Rev. Dr. Cheryl Peterson.  It will will be held February 4-5 at Mary Help of Christians in Huttonsville, WV.  Peterson serves as Professor of Theology and also as Associate Dean for Academics, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Capitol University. She also serves on the International Lutheran-Pentecostal Dialogue. Peterson will bring both her expertise as a scholar and an ecumenist to explore a range of pneumatological issues, including Charismaticism and Pentecostalism.  Peterson’s proposed outlines includes:

• Living as Lutherans in the “Age of the Spirit” in a time of “religious decline”
• What Lutherans can learn from the rise of the “Spiritual, but not religious”
• What Lutherans can learn from the rise of Pentecostalism and charismatic movements
• New directions for Lutheran pneumatology, ecclesiology, and mission

There is also a boundaries training pre-event. They may be taken as a combo or either one individually.  Registration deadline is close of Sunday, January 19.  Folks from other judicatories (Lutheran and non-Lutheran) are welcome. This event is for clergy and seminarians.  Details at http://wv-wmd.org/clergy/index.html.  Facebook events postings at
