Contact Newsletter September 2024

The title of the special book feature in September's Contact newsletter is Interconnectivity, Subversion and Healing in World Christianity. As we have begun to reflect on 50 years of history heading into our anniversary year, it is clear that this title could reflect INCHE as well. You will see on the front cover of the September Contact newsletter the picture of our founding conference in 1975. It is, to say the least, not very diverse. As you read, compare it with the images in the rest of the newsletter that reflect what our network looks like now. God is doing a mighty work.

We have had a busy summer at INCHE and have just this week transitioned into our new offices at Calvin University. This means that the newsletter is coming the the very END of September, but it is highlighting ways members across the globe are connecting, subverting the world's expectations, and bringing healing through Christian higher education.

You will learn about:

  • New institutional and affiliate members in India and Africa

  • Visits and connections across the global  network

  • New positions and honors for Christian scholars

  • The above-mentioned special book feature honoring the work of former INCHE board member Joel Carpenter

  • Exciting updates about INCHE 50th Anniversary conferences around the world, starting in October 2024.

  • Please note the November 1 deadline for proposals for the Global Conference in Europe

Enjoy your reading. If you have questions about how your members can access the INCHE quarterly newsletter, please contact us at office@inche.one.
