a Sermon by Rev. Dotson
The Rev. Junius Dotson of St. Mark United Methodist Church in Wichita,
Kan., will keynote the 2007 Founders' Day celebration at Claremont School
of Theology on Monday, Sept. 10, 2007. The theme for the event is "New
Paradigms :: Changing Church."
"Founders' Day is a wonderful time for graduates and friends of Claremont
to come together each year to be inspired toward creative leadership and
ministry," says Rev. Bronnie McNabb, vice-president of development for
the School. "Pastor Dotson will no doubt provide a spark to inspire new
ways of 'being church' in our changing world."
Rev. Junius Dotson currently serves the vibrant congregation of Saint
Mark UMC in Wichita, Kan. Ordained in 1992, Pastor Dotson started Genesis
UMC in the Silicon Valley in 1997, which drew on the "start-up" culture
of its local context to become an innovative model for a diverse worship
and service. The ministry, which grew to nearly 400 members in five years,
was featured in The San Jose Mercury News, The San Francisco
Examiner, and The Sacramento Bee.
Pastor Dotson previously spoke in Southern California on the topic of
leadership development at the United Methodist School for Congregational
Development held at in San Diego.
