Wednesday, February 18 (2 Continuing Education Units)*

10:00 am The Christian Fear of the Psyche - Dr. Ann Ulanov

Evangelicals fear Jung’s work, why? They fear he translated Christianity into psychological terms. What they overlook is that Jung was on an intense spiritual journey, as all of us are, to find our real path to respond to the real God. Jung is distinct among depth psychologists in dealing all his life with the numinous God who speaks through the psyche as well as through Scripture and historical events. Here we meet, or refuse to meet, the living God, from which is crafted our living faith.

11:00 am A Response. Dr. John Goldingay, School of Theology

Thursday, February 19 (2 Continuing Education Units)*

10:00 am Where to put the Bad? Where to put the Feminine? - Dr. Ann Ulanov

How do we include in a living faith the left out bits of ourselves and our communities – what Jung calls shadow elements, broken and shameful parts, the feminine? How do we understand evil from a psychological and theological perspective? Discussion of these issues on a practical and theoretical level uncover distinctions between Jung’s view and my understanding of Christian tradition. Jung remains a confounding figure who makes us look into our faith and face the total dependence it summons, while Jung says he does not quite bow all the way to the ground.

11:00 am Informal Discussion with Students and Guests

12:00 pm Pizza Lunch for Students and guests

Friday, February 20 (3 Continuing Education Units)*

10:00 am God-Images and the Life of Faith - Dr. Ann Ulanov

Jung’s theory of opposites and the psyche’s transcendent function help us in conversation in prayer and worship with our own God-images, the official God-images of tradition, and how, if we struggle to go on praying and being faithful, we navigate the inevitable breakdown of all our images because nothing finite can encompass the infinite unoriginated God. Attention here to Jesus as the Christ given as God’s self image, and the human problem of wanting to fix Jesus into a specific form and ethics and religious experience, while fearing the utterly free Christ who bodies forth the freedom of God.

11:00 am A Response: Dr. Douglas Mcconnell, School of Intercultural Studies
