"The Para-Normal Church? Exploring the Missional Distinctives between Church and Para-Church"

Darrell Guder, author of several books including "Missional Church", will be sharing with Outreach Leaders and Pastors at a roundtable event.

Darrell Guder received his Ph.D. from the University of Hamburg. As an ordained Presbyterian minister, he served as a student outreach pastor and as a faculty member of the Karlshohe College in the German Lutheran Church.

His writing and teaching focus on the theology of the missional church, especially the theological implications of the paradigm shift to post-Christendom as the context for Christian mission in the West. Previously, he taught at Princeton Theological Seminary as Henry Winters Luce Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology from 2002-2015 and as Dean of Academic Affairs from 2005-2010. Since his retirement, he has been Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology Emeritus.
