Dr. Randy Keeler, an associate professor of religion at Bluffton University, will present “The State of Youth Ministry in the Ohio Mennonite Conference” during a campus colloquium on Friday, Dec. 4.
Free and open to the public, his talk will begin at 4 p.m. in Stutzman Lecture Hall in Centennial Hall.
Keeler, also the chair of Bluffton’s history and religion department, will summarize his work with the Ohio Conference during a 2014-15 sabbatical, including what he learned about the conference’s commitment to Anabaptism through its youth ministry approaches. “I will also share some unexpected learnings from a year of denominational turbulence and how this particular conference responded,” he notes.
