MindShift Virtual 2020

MindShift

To raise pressing and often controversial questions facing Christian schools, educators, and student.

MindShift is an organic, informal, and international network of Christian education leaders working to catalyze innovative change in our schools. We provide forums for like-minded Christian education leaders—and friends who care about the mission of Christian education—to converse, convene, and collaborate. With the world radically changed due to COVID-19, plans to gather in person have been put on hold. Instead, this fall we will host a virtual conference by invitation only, on Tuesday and Thursday, October 20 and 22, respectively (with sessions offered at 12 noon and 5:30pm, Eastern USA). The purpose of the conference is to both provide sessions related to the recent book, MindShift: Catalyzing Change in Christian Education, as well as push beyond the book to raise pressing and often controversial questions facing Christian schools, educators, and students. We sometimes refer to these as “mind blown” questions.Using a flipped model, sessions will feature a pre-recorded keynote to be viewed by attendees prior to the conference, and then a 60-minute engagement session with panels and discussion groups led by school and field leaders on October 20 and 22. Planned topics include:<ul><li>Conflict as Opportunity? Recovering the Ever So Relevant Ministry of Reconciliation (keynote only)– Michael Gulker, The Colossian Forum</li></ul>Tuesday, October 20 (12:00 noon EDT)<ul><li>Isolated to Networked: Update from the UK – Andy Wolfe and Emily Norman, Church of England Educational Foundation</li><li>Machine to Human: What Does Love Require? – Justin Cook and Marianne Vangoor, Edvance</li></ul>Tuesday, October 20 (5:30 PM EDT)<ul><li>White to Mosaic - Jenny Brady, Michael Chen, Joel Gaines, and Tia Gaines, Christian Educators Diversity Alliance (With keynote: For God So Loved the World: A Blueprint for Kingdom Diversity – Walter Strickland, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary)</li><li>Siloed to Engaged: Shalom, Reconciliation, and Indigenous Peoples Daniel Pampuch and Darren Iselin, Christian Schools Australia</li></ul>Thursday, October 22 (12:00 noon EDT)<ul><li>Digital Life Together in a COVID-19 World – David Smith, Calvin College</li><li>Christian Education in the Majority World: Vision and Engagement – Ben Thomas, Kigali International Christian School and Be2TheWorld</li></ul>Thursday, October 22 (5:30 PM EDT)<ul><li>White Evangelicalism and the Current Political Moment – Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Calvin College</li><li>Women’s Leadership for Christian Education – Maria Varlet, CREST Australia</li></ul>
