Thinking in Public: Christian Philosophers as Public Intellectuals - Central Regional Conference of the Society of Christian Philosophers

Reformed Mission in an Age of World Christianity - This conference is designed to strengthen the intersection between Reformed Christian faith expressions and global movements for world Christianity.  It is prompted by the commitments of Calvin College, the emerging global partnership of the World Communion of Reformed Churches, and ready involvement from IAPCHE, the International Association for the Promotion of Christian Higher Education.

Seven Deadly Sins (Capital Vices) in the Christian Tradition - This two-week seminar on the seven deadly sins—or, capital vices—in the Christian tradition will explore a philosophical understanding of the vices as moral concepts that played a central role in spiritual formation and cultural critique from the 4th to the 13th century.

The Power of Race in American Religion - Race and religion are intimately linked to one another in the United States. In this three-week seminar, we closely examine these connections and their implications for social and religious life, analyze different alternatives in light of faith traditions, and consider the benefits and costs of different approaches for different groups, all in an attempt to bring clarity to these issues and outline avenues for research and teaching.

Communitas: A Visiting Scholars Program - Communitas is a visiting scholars program that offers the opportunity for Christian scholars (and their families) to spend four weeks at Calvin College to continue work on their research.

Case Studies from the History of Worship: Prospects for Research and Pedagogy in a Variety of Theological Disciplines - This seminar will focus on the development and pedagogical use of case studies from the history of Christian worship. In the seminar, participants will have opportunity to research and initiate writing on a case study documenting the first-hand accounts, texts, and theological reflections from some historical instance of worship.

Religion, War, and the Meaning of America - This seminar focuses on the interaction of inherited Old World ideas and cultures (primarily religious) in a New World (to the Europeans) environment, with particular attention to the subject of war. 

Faith and Globalization - The seminar will center on the indispensable contribution that the Christian faith can make to making globalization serve authentic human flourishing.

From Text to Sermon - This workshop will aim to return preachers to their single greatest resource and homiletical foundation: the Word of God.
