Faith, Functioning, and Bowen Theory

Bowen theory engages a wide audience. Many in traditions of faith have found the theory central to how they think about themselves and their relationships with others, offering insights into theology and the practice of care and counseling, leadership, teaching, and research.

Faith, Functioning, and Bowen Theory will explore the implications of Bowen theory specifically for communities of faith but is intended for anyone with a professional or personal interest in this area.

The conference’s featured speaker is John Haught, PhD, emeritus faculty and distinguished Research Professor at Georgetown University, Washington DC. His area of specialization is systematic theology with a particular interest in issues pertaining to science, cosmology, evolution, ecology and religion.

This is a hybrid conference. When registering, participants will be prompted to select in person at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Arlington, Virginia or online. Details for in person or online attendance will be emailed after registration.
