We all live by (a) code. Whether we acknowledge it or not. Much like the software we encounter on a regular basis, a person’s code is not readily visible. However, code is responsible for the ways that things behave. Especially those things which depend upon its logic(s) to function. However, when it comes to people our code is rarely visible, even to ourselves. "Woven Together By Code" will explore our unexplored and unspoken programming/ways of life as a means to arrive at a more cohesive and interwoven way of living and being.

Join internationally recognized scholar Dr. Philip Butler for the 2026 Caldwell Lecture as part of Louisville Seminary's Mosaic Symposium.

This lecture explores the 2026 Symposium theme: Woven Together: Where Humanity Meets the World Today.

FALL OPENING CONVOCATION OF THE 173RD ACADEMIC YEAR

You are warmly invited to a special worship service celebrating the opening Convocation of the 173rd Academic year of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and installation of Rev. Dr. Hee Jin Lee as Assistant Professor of Marriage and Family Therapy.

"What Will You Feed Them?" After Jesus’ death and resurrection, he appears to his disciples, who have returned to their livelihoods, and prepares food and feeds them. Feeding is a critical metaphor to reveal various relational and emotional/psychological descriptions, including the preacher’s cultural identity. More importantly, just as he feeds his disciples, he leaves the message: “Feed my lambs/sheep.” From this scene, we can ask the most fundamental questions in pastoral/ spiritual care and counseling/ theology: “Whom will you feed? And what will you feed them?” This sermon conveys that, just as Christ feeds us, we will be encouraged to nourish one another with the love of God in the world.

Following worship, join us in the LouSem Hope cafe for a Community Lunch hosting by the Academic Dean's Office.
All are invited to attend! RSVP by August 21, 2026.

PRESLER LECTURE

4:30 PM Reception | 6:00 PM Hybrid Lecture
Louisville Seminary Winn Center & Online
Free & open to the public

Can the sacred, usually a source of liberation, become an instrument of violence? Examining the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Dr. Arroyo will explore the complicated history of the sacraments in colonial Latin America - how they were used to instill fear and reinforce the subjugation of enslaved people, while also becoming instruments of healing, resistance, liberation, and the defense of human dignity. Together, we will reflect on the Church's ongoing calling to weave faith, justice, and compassion into the lives of marginalized communities. Visit the registration page to learn more about this lecture.
