Mercersburg Society Convocation 2026
“Theology in Bricks and Glass: Mercersburg and Visual Art and Architecture”
Monday, June 1 and Tuesday, June 2, 2026
On the campus of Lancaster Theological Seminary; 555 West James Street Lancaster, PA 17603
Christian worship spaces offer distinctive theological proclamations, not only through the depictions of biblical characters and saints, but also through the use of color, form, and mass. Different theologies correlate with different artistic styles. We will learn more about how to “read and hear” the glass, stone, bricks, and textures of our churches, with insights from historical examples and the Mercersburg tradition. Workshops will generate suggestions for enhancing congregational celebration and individual devotion.

Men's Keystone Clergy Retreat - "Men and Forgiveness"
2026-10-06 - 2026-10-08 | Hartman Center Campgrounds, 5725 Old US Hwy 322, Milroy, PA, 17063, United States
The gospel of Jesus Christ lays claim to our lives like nothing else. Throughout his ministry, Jesus recognizes people, honors people, unburdens people, and frees God’s children from every form of bondage, confronting injustice with love and death with life. Jesus re-members our life stories in ways that redefine each person’s sense of identity and purpose. He identifies and calls forth new strengths and capacities from within us. The forgiveness of God in Jesus Christ invites us to share his life deeply and be infused with a power much greater than all the might and blustering control proclaimed in these times of ours. We learn his way by heart and are blessed to carry it into the world. Join us on this retreat, where we will crack open remarkable gospel narratives, meeting them with the authenticity of our own stories and the fullness of ourselves!
10 hours of CE credit will be awarded for full participation.
