LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Join us for the 2020 Honor-Shame Conference at Wheaton College!

We will explore how honor and shame influence the gospel, the Church, and various other disciplines, including theology, missiology, pastoral ministry, and counseling.

This is the second such conference. At the June 2017 Honor-Shame Conference, 285 people gathered from some 100 organizations. A learning community gathered from North America and around the world. It included professors, pastors, cross-cultural workers, creatives, and other professional practitioners. Click here to see videos from the 2017 Conference.

The conference will feature workshops led by theologians and practitioners from around the world.
