2013-2014 Lay Theological Colloquy
Reformed Doctrine and Human Sexuality

The Reformed Institute is pleased to offer an annual opportunity for a group of lay people to explore together a particular topic in Reformed theology and ethics that has relevance to contemporary life, and to do so under the leadership of a Reformed theologian who is known for his or her expertise on the subject. This year’s colloquy will be led by Dr. Nancy J. Duff, the Stephen Colwell Associate Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary. The syllabus for the colloquy and information about the leader can be found HERE.

The Washington Barth Reading Group 
sponsored by the Reformed Institute of Metropolitan Washington

Is the work of Karl Barth the work of a modern day Luther? Does his work present the kind of insights that can be useful in our preaching and teaching? The sheer volume of Barth’s work presents daunting challenges to the interested pastor, elder, and church member, especially if she or he wants to find a community in which to share, discuss, and analyze what is read. The Reformed Institute is attempting to meet this challenge by establishing: “The Washington Barth Reading Group.” The group meets on fourth Saturdays from 10 a.m. to Noon at National Presbyterian Church and will continue to meet throughout the summer months.
