A Leadership
Profile for the Twenty-first Century |
|
Speaker |
The Rev. Dr.
Edmund (Eddie) Gibbs |
 |
Eddie Gibbs joined Fuller Theological Seminary in 1984 from
his homeland of England with an extensive interest in
mission which included serving as a missionary in Santiago
and Quilpue, Chile, with his wife Renee. Currently, his
academic interests include evangelizing nominal Christians
and assisting local churches to become evangelizing
churches. The church's response to modernity and
post-modernity in becoming a missionary presence in that
context is the subject of his most current book in process.
In the last few years, his teaching has taken him to
Singapore, Korea, UK, and Switzerland, among others, as well
as, around the United States extensively. Some of his
publications include In Name Only (1994), I Believe in
Church Growth (1981, revised 1985, 1989), Good News is for
Sharing (1993), and ChurchNext (IVP-US 2001, IVP-UK 2002).
|
|
Topic |
The next generation of leader
will not only be a younger leader but a different king of
leader. We will highlight some of the distinctive
leadership characteristics for an emerging church that is
both motivated and shaped by its sense of mission.
These insights are a preview of his forthcoming book
LeadershipNext (InterVarsity Press, August, 2005). |

"Green" or Sustainable building has several objectives:

reducing the level of consumption through
guidelines for selection and use of materials;
-
using sustainable materials conserves
dwindling resources and reduces environmental impacts
-
contributes to reduced maintenance and
replacement costs during the life of a building.
Case studies will be used to demonstrate implementation of
green building methods and materials. Also sample
materials will be presented and their usage explained. |
