THE CENTER LETTER 2010 theme:
Contrast and Companionship: The Way of the Church with the World
SUBSCRIBE NOW!

Convo 2009

    Each monthly issue of the Center Letter is edited by Dr. Inagrace T. Dietterich and presents the very best of the Center's research and practice.

    The Center Letter is published on an annual subscription basis, beginning with the January issue. Persons who enter a subscription during the year will receive all issues for the current year.

  The Center Letter -
  • is for the questioning and thinking church leader
  • utilizes the church’s rich biblical-theological heritage along with thoughtful analysis of the contemporary context
  • seeks to cultivate the missional church in today’s post-Christendom world

Monthly issues of the Center Letter in 2010 will –

  • Consider the nature of the missional church as it engages the critical challenges of our time
  • Later month issues in 2010 will build upon the essences of  Dr. George Hunsberger’s convocation lectures.
  • Will stimulate you by the timely, interesting, and probing topics of the way of the church – companionship and contrast – with the world.
