Join with Greater Chicago area Union alums and Union’s alumni/ae relations director, Rev. Emily Odom, for a liturgically-shaped afternoon of engaging speakers—including Union’s own Dr. Pamela Cooper-White—conversation, prayer, and song.

The Rev. Pamela Cooper-White, Ph.D., Union Seminary’s Christiane Brooks Johnson Professor of Psychology and Religion, will be speaking on the occasion of the Spring Convocation 2018 of Bexley Seabury—an Episcopal Center for Learning & Discipleship—titled “What Does the Lord Require? Pastoral and Prophetic Witness in Traumatic Times.”

Dr. Cooper-White looks forward to personally greeting Union alums during the reception which will follow the program. To register for the Convocation, click here.

The event is free and open to the public. There is street parking and there are also a number of parking lots in the general vicinity of St. James Commons. The location is right off the Michigan Avenue shopping district.

If you are planning to attend the Convocation, please also notify Emily Odom by email or telephone at  212-280-1419.
