With the success of our “pilot” webinar on Dec. 13^th, we are announcing a new series of monthly BCM Webinars throughout 2012.  Throughout this new year, we’ll offer at least one webinar per month on a variety of themes across the spectrum of our educational and organizing work.  

The first in the series will be on Thursday, January 19^th from 5:45-7:15 pm PST (note the date, which is different than previously announced).  The theme will be “Mark’s Call to Discipleship in Sociopolitical and Economic Context.”  The cost of this 90 minutes webinar is only $9.50 (for two people sitting at a screen that's less than 5 bucks each!)  You can register here.  This study of Mark 1 will offer a prelude to (and a taste of) our upcoming Bartimaeus Institute (Feb 20-24), as an encouragement to register! Ched will discuss the real world of first century colonized Palestine, which makes phrases such as “I will make you a fisher of people” come dramatically alive.

If you can’t make this webinar, our next one will be Wednesday, February 8^th.  The theme will be our upcoming Orbis publication Our God is Undocumented: Biblical Faith and Immigrant Justice by Ched and Matt Colwell.  Ched will give some previews of the book during the webinar. 

To participate in these webinars you must register at www.chedmyers.org/webinar/ featured-product; you’ll receive an email from us with the link and invitation 24 hours beforehand.
