Institute Materials
More than 100 participants representing 23 states and six countries gathered at Duke Divinity School from May 31 to June 5 for the school’s first Summer Institute.
The event, hosted by the Center for Reconciliation, was titled “Shaping the Beloved Community in a Divided World.” Activities ranged from classroom sessions, panels and lectures with world renowned scholars to corporate worship in the Divinity School’s beautiful Goodson Chapel to small-group discussions in Duke University’s lush gardens and other venues around campus.
Speakers at the 2009 Summer Institute covered topics ranging from transformative leadership to spirituality for the long haul.
