SUMMARY:Politics and Preaching: Faithful Application or Misuse of the Pulpit?
DESCRIPTION:Join Rev. Dr. Carrie Call on Zoom for a discussion of “Politics and Preaching: Faithful Application or Misuse of the Pulpit?” The title is intentionally dichotomizing to reflect how so many things feel these days – there seems to be one answer only\, with very little nuance. I want to get away from that and introduce some complexity as we explore how the pulpit has been used for political purposes over the years and wrestle with when that is appropriate\, if ever. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Theology with a Twist: "From Her Own Means: The Women Who Bankrolled the Gospel"
DESCRIPTION:As those who lead churches today know\, the economic life of a church is as necessary to sustain as its spiritual life. The early Jesus movement and Paul’s groups also required material sustenance to operate. How did these groups support themselves financially? If we look closely\, there are several women who are named in our New Testament sources as financial sponsors of the Gospel: Phoebe\, Lydia\, Mary Magdalene\, Susanna\, and others. Join us as we dig into the ways women appear\, again and again\, across early Christian writings as the primary investors in the Gospel. \nDr. Brigidda Zapata is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Moravian Theological Seminary. She holds a BA\, MA\, and PhD from the University of Toronto. Her research examines how people in the ancient world understood the divine to permeate into everyday life. Recently\, she has been writing about the role of New Testament women in ritual life\, both as participants and sponsors. \nTheology with a Twist meets at the Kutztown Tavern at 272 W Main St\, Kutztown\, PA 19530. We gather in the upper room of the tavern the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm for a time of learning and discussion about a variety of spiritual\, religious\, and theological topics presented by local experts in their field. The event is free but food and drink can be purchased in the restaurant downstairs and brought up to our event space. Parking is available in the community lot behind the tavern or on Main Street. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Spirit on Tap: "Unholy Alliance: An Overview of Christian Nationalism in America"
DESCRIPTION:Spirit on Tap: “Unholy Alliance: An Overview of Christian Nationalism in America” \nThe Rev. Dr. Stephen Ohnsman \nWhile America did not invent Christian Nationalism\, we have done our best to make sure it is deeply embedded in our culture. Steve Ohnsman will talk about some of the history and the realities of how we struggle to practice our faith and maintain the Constitution’s implied separation between government and religion. \nSpirit on Tap’s purpose is to encourage theological discussion\, explore alternative views\, and stimulate dialouge around issues of faith\, spirituality\, and social justice. There is no charge\, and all are welcome. Spirit on Tap is supported by your generous donations. \nCalvary United Church of Christ\, 640 Centre Ave. Reading\, PA

SUMMARY:Keystone Online Lenten Series: The Transforming Power of Forgiveness with Rev. Scott Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, Feb. 24\, March 3 & 10\, 2026 \n7:00pm – 8:30pm \nForgiveness is the way God’s love gives ultimate definition to our lives.   \nIn this series we will explore the textures and substance of forgiveness\, immersing ourselves in dynamic gospel stories that will claim us and call forth stories of our own.  Through our learning\, we will explore forgiveness’ transforming power for ourselves\, our relationships\, our faith communities\, and the world that God so loves.  We will learn steps to forgiving someone else\, and even more\, we will be challenged to allow ourselves to be forgiven.  This is life-changing territory. Participants can expect something new to happen. \nReverend Scott Hutchinson pastored UCC congregations in Pennsylvania for 34 years.  His life and ministry embrace the power of forgiveness\, peacebuilding\, and tending the soul wounds of war.  Scott is principal of The Forgiveness Lab\, co-founder of the COMPASS Healing Circle\, and author of Living Scriptures. \nThis series is open to lay people and clergy of the Keystone Conference. \nRegistration is required with a fee of $30 for the online series. Registrants will receive a Zoom link that covers all three sessions. \nSessions will include breakout rooms for small group discussions. No separate registration for individual sessions. \nFor Authorized Ministers this series will count as 6 hours of Continuing Education. \nRegister here.
