Meeting Overview

The meeting will begin with a combined evening service with Empowered 21 on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m., and end with a banquet on Saturday night.

Our theme is "Pentecostalisms, Peacemaking, and Social Justice/Righteousness.” Along with plenary and Interest Group sessions, the conference includes worship, morning devotions, working-lunch meetings, a Society business meeting, a women's breakfast, and a banquet. During the conference, attendees have many opportunities to socialize, become acquainted with one another, and to share their scholarly interests and current work. Attendees also enjoy discounted prices on a variety of books and other products exhibited by vendors and ministries.

Attendees are encouraged to join the Society for Pentecostal Studies, before or during the meeting, but membership is not necessary to register for the meeting. Presenters for SPS sessions (other than specially invited guests) are required to be members of SPS.

Theme: "Pentecostalisms, Peacemaking, and Social Justice/Righteousness"

There is a diversity of Pentecostalisms throughout the USA and the world, and there are contested ways in which Pentecostalisms (dis)engage Jesus’ blessing for peacemakers and the biblical prophets’ calls for social justice and righteousness. This year in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at the 41st Annual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, we devote our scholarship to exploring Pentecostalisms’ relationships with issues such as Israel and Palestine, e/im/migration, liberation, oppression, race and ethnicity, gender, the environment, economics, poverty, wealth, health care, public policy, foreign policy, war, nonviolence, reconciliation, forgiveness, conflict transformation, globalization, consumerism, sexuality, post/neo/colonialisms, and imperialism.

Because the annual meeting is being held in conjunction with Empowered 21, we have the honor of engaging in this experience with eight hundred denominational and NextGen leaders. We anticipate that this multifaceted and multi-demographic conference – Converge 2012 – will provide a multitude of opportunities for historical, theological, biblical, pastoral, philosophical, missional, ecumenical, social-scientific, and cultural explorations of peace with justice topics and other issues relevant to the future of Spirit-empowered Christianity in the twenty-first century. A full program, with the Empowered 21 tracks, will be posted to this website in December 2011.

We hope this meeting will be an opportunity to reflect on the diversity of Pentecostalisms, the promise of peacemaking, and the importance of working for God’s justice from the perspectives of our variety of disciplines. We should clearly experience the challenge to receive the pain and hope of the lack of justice and peace that are so persistent. The meeting will be an occasion to suggest to one another scholarly directions that will bless the churches, the academy, and especially those who are neither.

The Program

Spirit-Empowerment, U.S. Christians, and Hope for the Land of Pentecost

The Thursday evening plenary session will present a balanced, loving, and kind conversation about complex issues in the Holy Land, featuring two Spirit-empowered Christians who live and work there. The speakers affirm the peace and security needs of the state of Israel and seek to explore ways that the Spirit is working in both Israel and Palestine.

Sami Awad is a charismatic Christian who was reared in a Palestinian Pentecostal family in the West Bank, and who now serves as Executive Director of Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem. He holds a Master's Degree in International Relations, specializing in Peace and Conflict Resolution, from the American University in Washington D.C. and an undergraduate degree in Political Science from the University of Kansas. During his time in the U.S., Mr. Awad kept very close links with his native homeland, Palestine, and always intended to return to Palestine to play his part in building and developing the Palestinian community.

Holy Land Trust works with Israeli and Palestinian communities at both the grassroots and leadership levels in developing nonviolent approaches that aim to build a future founded on the principles of nonviolence, equality, justice, and peaceful coexistence. In 2006, he ran as an independent candidate in the Palestinian Legislative Council Elections (the Palestinian Parliament). He also established the Travel and Encounter Program, which aims to provide tourists and pilgrims with unique religious and political experiences in the Holy Land; the Palestine News Network, the first independent press agency in Palestine and a major source of news on life in Palestine today; and Al-Kul Television.

Prior to founding Holy Land Trust, Mr. Awad worked with the Palestinian Bible Society in establishing a Biblical Museum in Bethlehem and was responsible for the activities of the Palestinian Center for the Study of Nonviolence in Jerusalem. The Center offered seminars and workshops in Conflict Resolution and Democracy and Nonviolence. He is also one of the founders and partners of Radio Bethlehem 2000, one of the first radio stations to be launched in Palestine.

Mr. Awad has provided keynote addresses at Yale University, twice at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and in numerous other venues throughout the world, including South America, Africa, and Asia. He has also appeared on many media outlets, including Fox News, ABC, and CNN. Mr. Awad featured prominently in the award winning feature length film Little Town of Bethlehem (2010), produced by Mart Green, Chairman of the Board of Oral Roberts University. Mr. Awad is married to Rana, a Bethlehemite, and together they have three daughters.

Wayne Hilsden has served in the Holy Land since 1983. He earned his Master of Divinity degree from the University of Toronto (Wycliffe College) and serves as the senior pastor of King of Kings Community, located in central Jerusalem. Reverend Hilsden has also served as academic dean of Israel College of the Bible and has helped mentor young leaders who have subsequently planted Hebrew-speaking congregations. In recent years, King of Kings Community purchased and renovated a former movie theater and transformed it into a worship and conference center called the "Jerusalem Pavilion." More recently, they acquired the top floor of this same 17-floor building and transformed it into the "Jerusalem Prayer Tower." Hilsden is married to Ann, and they have four sons.

Additional speakers include...

Daisy L. Machado serves as Dean of Academic Affairs and Professor of Church History at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Her scholarship focuses specifically on United States' Christianities. She holds a B.A., Brooklyn College, an M.S.W., Hunter College School of Social Work, a Master of Divinity, Union Theological Seminary, New York, and a Ph.D., University of Chicago. She is the first U.S. Latina ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and has served inner city congregations in Brooklyn, Houston, and Fort Worth. From 1996-1999, Dr. Machado served as the first Director of the Hispanic Theological Initiative, a $3.4 million project funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts to increase the presence of Latina/o faculty teaching in seminaries, schools of religion, and religion departments around the country. From 2002-06, she served as the Chair of the Board of the Hispanic Summer Program, an innovative masters level program currently supported by over 30 seminaries and schools of theology. Dr. Machado was also Luce Lecturer in Urban Ministry, Harvard Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Lecturer at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dallas, Texas, teaching a class on “Latina/o Spirituality and Medicine.” In July 2008, she was invited to serve as chaplain for Week Three of the Summer Season at the Chautauqua Institute, making her the first Latina to serve as chaplain. Her daily sermons were preached to a gathering of over 600 participants every day. In spring 2010, she presented the keynote address for the Institute for Lived Theology held at the University of San Diego, California, titled “Borderlife and the Religious Imagination.”

Her publications include Borders and Margins: Hispanic Disciples in the Southwest, 1888-1942. New York: Oxford University Press; co-editor of A Reader in Latina Feminist Theology: Religion and Justice. Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, as well as numerous chapters in anthologies and encyclopedias as well as journals and magazines. Her two latest publications are “The Southern U.S. Border: Immigration, the Historical Imagination, and Globalization” in Rethinking Economic Globalization, Pamela K. Brubaker, Rebecca Todd Peters, Laura A. Stivers, eds. (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2006) and “Voices from Nepantla: Latinas in U.S. Religious History” in Feminist Intercultural Theology: Latina Explorations for a Just World, María Pilar Aquino and María José Rosado-Nunes, eds. (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2007).

She has also lectured in Mexico, Venezuela, and Germany. A native of Cuba, she was raised in New York, lived in Texas for twenty years, and lived in Lexington, KY, for two years, where she served as Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Lexington Theological Seminary. Dr. Machado has a great interest in the concept of “borderlands” which is a multilayered word that not only refers to a specific geographic location, but for Latinas and other women of color also refers to a social, economic, political, and personal location within the dominant culture. She is also a strong advocate for a comprehensive reformation of current U.S. immigration laws, especially now that Arizona has enacted SB 1070. Her current research and writing project focuses on the Prosperity Gospel in the U.S. Latino Protestant communities, with a special look at the G-12 Movement, which has been imported from Colombia. Her course, CH333: Religious Movements from the Margins - A Look at the Prosperity Gospel in the U.S., introduces development of the prosperity gospel ideal in the U.S. religious landscape and how this ideal has played out historically in racial ethnic communities. Dr. Machado is also involved in the early stages of a longer-term research project with Dr. Evelyn Parker of Perkins School of Theology, Dallas, called “God Behind Bars” which seeks to investigate and interpret the religious reality of Latina and African American women inmates.

Darío Andrés López Rodríguez earned his Ph.D. from the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies/Open University, Oxford, Reino Unido. Dr. López currently serves as Professor of New Testament and Missiology at Gamaliel Biblical Seminary of the Church of God in Lima, Peru. He also regularly teaches at Centro de Capacitacion Misionera in Bolivia, Seminario Sudamericano (SEMISUD) in Ecuador; Pentecostal Theological Seminary in Cleveland, TN; Colegio Biblico Pentecostal de la Iglesia de Dios in Puerto Rico; Instituto Superior Ecumenico Andino de Teologia (ISEAT) in Bolivia; and the Seminario Teologico de la Iglesia de Dios in Panama.

Dr. López is the President of the National Evangelical Council of Peru; Bishop of the Lima Region of the Church of God, Peru; President of the Board of Directors of the Bible League of Peru; and President of the New Humanity Center for Political Sciences Research and Promotion of Development. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Evangelical Center of Andino-Amazon Missiology, the Board of Directors of the Latin American Theological Fellowship, on the National Council of the Church of God of Peru, Social Action Commission of the National Evangelical Council of Peru, and as the General Secretary of the Association of Evangelical University Groups of Peru.

Dr. López has addressed human rights abuses and injustices within Peru in both his ecclesial and government work by serving on the Inter-Institutional Group appointed by the Peruvian State, which was commissioned to elaborate recommendations for the formation of a Truth Commission. Subsequently, he was a member of the National Accord convened by the Peruvian government and a member of the Central Forum of the National Accord. He also served on the Consultative Commission on Confessional Issues of the National Council of the Ministry of Justice of Peru.

Dr. López’ extensive publications include La Mision Liberadora de Jesus, first published in 1997 and now available in English (The Liberating Mission of Jesus, Pickwick, 2012); Evangelicals and Human Rights: The Social Experience of the National Evangelical Council of Peru (1998); From Marginalization to the Conquest of Her Citizenship: The New Face of the Evangelical Churches (1999); “Theological Directions for the Defense of Human Rights: The Pastoral Model of Peace and Hope” in Latin America Celebrates the Justice of God: Latin American Encounter of Evangelicals and Human Rights (1999); Pentecostalism and Social Transformation (2000); The New Face of Latin American Pentecostalism (2002); “A Biblical Perspective on Justice” in Truth and Reconciliation: Ethical Reflections (2002); The Seduction of Power: Evangelicals and Politics in the Peru of the 1990s (2004); When God is Uncomfortable: Biblical Reflections (2005); Artisans of Peace: Biblical Models of Reconciliation (2006); The Fiesta of the Spirit: Pentecostal Spirituality and Celebration (2006); “The Special Love of God for the Poor: A Biblical Contextual Reading” in The Poor You Will Have With You Always (2006); Pentecostalism and Integral Mission: Theology of the Spirit, Theology of Life (2008); Weaving a New Public Face: Evangelicals, Politics, and Society in Contemporary Peru (2008); The Political Proposal of the Reign of God: Studies on the Church, Society, and State (2009); “Just Wealth: How is the Poverty of the Poor in the Global South a Matter of Justice for the Rich in the Global North?” in The Justice Project (2009); and “The Redeeming Community: The God of Life and the Community of Life” in Toward a Pentecostal Ecclesiology: The Church and the Fivefold Gospel (2010).

Since 1992, Dr. López has been the pastor of the Mt. Sinai Church of God, located in the marginal district of Villa María del Triunfo, in Lima, Peru. His pastorate has been characterized as one of Pentecostal passion for holistic ministry, including personal, social, and spiritual transformation. Throughout his ministry, Dr. López has kept the biblical concern for needy children and marginalized women at the center of his pastoral and prophetic work. Presently, the Mt. Sinai church, with approximately 250 members, serves over 120 poor children each day with elementary education and meals. The ministry has also included a new church plant in an area of even greater poverty. Several of the women who have been discipled under Dr. López’ ministry have become actively engaged as leaders in grassroots community organizations for social change and have marched on the Palace of Government, demanding the passage of laws favoring poor children and families.
