Our Keynote Speaker
Christopher Woznicki is an Affiliate Assistant Professor of Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary. His research is focused on Atonement, Anthropology, and Prayer in the Reformation. His first monograph, T. F. Torrance’s Christological Anthropology: Discerning Humanity in Christ, was published by Routledge in 2022 (#2022-cgw-1). He is the editor of several forthcoming volumes and the author of The Doctrine of Atonement: A Biblical, Historical, and Global Introduction. Christopher also serves as a minister and is on the leadership of Young Life, a ministry dedicated to introducing adolescents to Jesus and helping them grow in their faith.
Chris will be speaking on: “The Vicarious Mission of Christ and the Church.”
Abstract: What is the shape of Christian mission? Recent answers to this question have taken their cue from the doctrine of incarnation. The shape, or approach, of mission ought to be “incarnational.” This approach has been adopted not only by the contemporary missional movement but also theologians who are concerned with the plight of the marginalized. In this lecture Christopher argues that this question ought to be answered in reference to the vicarious humanity of Christ. Without dismissing all that is entailed by the incarnational-mission framework, Christopher argues that employing the concept of the vicarious humanity of Christ not only provides a healthier model for practitioners engaged in mission but it also does a better job of situating missiology in relation to Christology. Centering the vicarious humanity of Christ in mission not only addresses the praxis of mission but also provides the telos of mission.
Annual Business Meeting
As part of our Annual meeting, we hold our ABM. This takes place in the first half hour of our meeting together. For 2024, we have no elections of executive officers, but we will receive a financial report and a summary of actions of the TFTTF for this year. In 2025 the Fellowship will elect at its annual meeting executive committee officers and, following our bylaws, one of the two co-vice presidents will be appointed to serve for the next three-year term, through 2028.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it to San Deigo for the annual meeting and for face to face fellowship.
