Ryan Burge presentation poster
Have you ever wondered why American religion seems so caustic and polarized?
Using five decades of social science survey data, Dr. Ryan Burge charts how and why the American religious landscape has changed. The discussion will focus on the collapse of the mainline, the perpetual strength of American evangelicalism, and the dramatic rise of the nones. Additionally, Dr. Burge will help attendees think about ways to make their own congregations less polarized and homogeneous as a means to transform not only their congregation but also their community.
Dr. Ryan Burge is an associate professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University. He is the author or co-author of four books including The Nones, 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America, and The Great Dechurching.

2024-04-12 00:00 - 2024-04-14 00:00 | Bartell Theater, 113 E. Mifflin St., Madison, WI, 53703, United States
As young children we laugh and play without a care in the world, but as life begins to slowly wear us down our innocence is stolen. Slowly believing the lies of this world that we are not good enough, unloved, or even a mistake, that the still small voice of the one who created us disappears. There is one who will always call us loved, worthy, and precious and it is the only voice that we need to truly hear. Join us for the premiere of Shattered. A new contemporary ballet that will proclaim our God-given names with boldness and shatter the lies of our enemy.
*Recommended for ages 8 and up.

A Night with Brian McLaren
2023-09-07 19:00 - 20:30 | Bethel Lutheran Church, 312 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
Brian McLaren joins Bethel Lutheran Church on September 7 at 7:00 pm for an evening of straight talk about Christianity and genuine inspiration. McLaren is a Christian thinker, author, and activist. In 2015, he was recognized by Time magazine as one of the 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America. Since that recognition, he has left the evangelical church and is no longer a pastor. His journey mirrors that of millions of Christians who have left the religion they were handed to become a different kind of Christian. He writes about this transformation in his more than dozen books. As a former pastor, Brian D. McLaren is a champion for a more loving, inclusive, and contemplative Christianity. His newest book Do I Stay Christian? (May 2022) shows how people of faith benefit from religious doubts and how by confronting the ugly realities of Christian history, people are shaped by the grace and life of Christ.

Pressing Issues for the Global Church
2023-06-14 17:00 - 18:30 | Upper|House, 365 East Campus Mall, Suite 200, Madison, 53715, United States
The Christian church is a multinational, multicultural, multilingual body that spans every society on the globe. In the twenty-first century, the vast majority of Christians live in the “Global South”—Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Yet in many conversations about “the Church,” Americans tend to focus on themselves.
In this summer series of conversations Upper House will host five talks to explore some of the dominant social issues in the global church—issues that affect all Christians, albeit in different ways depending on location. We’ll seek to learn from people in our community who have experience and expertise in other parts of the world, hopefully challenging and enriching our understanding of the church here in Madison, too.
There will be six sessions in all, meeting every other Wednesday evening.
