SUMMARY:Candler School of Theology J-Term 2027
DESCRIPTION:Special Topics in Mission: Fresh Expressions and the Blended Ecology of Church \nMonday\, January 4 – Friday\, January 8\, 2027 · In Person\nCandler School of Theology\, Emory University · Atlanta\, GA \nMichael returns to Candler School of Theology this January Term to teach his course on Fresh Expressions and the blended ecology of church. It is five days\, in person\, in Atlanta\, and the plan is to stretch the bounds of what can happen in a classroom. \nStudents will be immersed in the history and theology of the Fresh Expressions movement. The course explores inclusive\, accessible\, transfiguring\, and connectional forms of church: new Christian communities that grow up alongside existing congregations\, in the everyday places where people already live\, work\, and gather. It takes missiology seriously\, but it is built around practice. Students will work through the “blended ecology” of church\, where inherited congregations and fresh expressions grow together and renew each other\, and they will leave with practical tools for cultivating new communities in their own contexts. \nMichael teaches as a practitioner. He co-pastors Wildwood\, St. Marks\, and Compassion UMC in Florida with his wife\, Jill. Their churches are traditional congregations and also a network of fresh expressions that meet in tattoo parlors\, dog parks\, salons\, burrito joints\, and online. He directs Fresh Expressions for The United Methodist Church\, Fresh Expressions Florida\, and the Fresh Expressions House of Studies at United Theological Seminary\, and he has coached and consulted with hundreds of churches\, districts\, and denominations. \nHow to Register \n\nCandler students: Register through Emory’s student portal during Spring 2027 preregistration (November 4–15). Add/drop/swap opens December 7 at noon. The last day to enroll in a J-Term course is December 9\, 2026.\nStudents at other ATA seminaries: Submit a cross-registration application to the registrar at your home school by December 1\, 2026.
