Webinars

web·i·nar  noun, often capitalized \ˈwe-bə-ˌnär\  a live online educational presentation during which participating viewers can submit questions and comments.  (from Merriam-Webster)

The PC (USA) website offers webinars on a variety of topics. 

The "God’s Mission Matters" webinars from Presbyterian World Mission give you the opportunity to be part of a live, interactive conversation once a month about how to engage more faithfully and effectively in God’s mission.  Global partners, mission workers, short-term mission leaders and mission participants are just some of the panelists you’ll find online in the webinars, talking about insightful and practical ways we can participate in mission.  

 

Here is information on a mission webinar offered this week:

 Hit the brakes!
Moving away from a problem-solving approach to mission
September 15, 2010 · 1-2 p.m. Eastern Time

      "As Christians, how are we invited into God’s mission of bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to all people? We are called to acts of compassion, but what does that look like? This Hit the brakes! webinar will explore what happens when we move towards partnership and accompaniment in God’s mission, recognizing that mission relationships with brothers and sisters near and far can be more important than a task accomplished or a problem fixed.
     Three experts will guide our conversation:
• Dr. Doug Tilton, PC(USA) mission co-worker and regional liaison for Southern Africa;
• The Rev. Wil Howie, founder and director of Living Waters for the World; and
• The Rev. Elizabeth McLean, associate pastor for mission and evangelism, Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas.
     Webinars are interactive forums where you’ll be able to “chime in” with questions, comments and stories. Join us on September 15 to take part in the conversation!"  Click here for more information and to register.
