What we need to know for faithful living we learned on the playground. Come play with Dr. Michael Koppel, Howard Chandler Robbins Professor of Pastoral Theology and Congregational Care and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Wesley Theological Seminary. He will teach and guide sessions in which we explore together how a theology and practice of play heals, restores, and empowers us for vital living. A popular presenter in churches and at conferences, Michael is the author of Open-Hearted Ministry: Play as Key to Pastoral Leadershipand co-author with Denise Dombkowski Hopkins of Grounded in the Living Word: The Old Testament and Pastoral Care Practices.
