“Centered Lives” ft. The Christian Century’s Peter W. Marty I Saturdays at Seven – Season Three, Episode Forty-Three - Christian Scholar’s Review
In the forty-third episode of the third season of the “Saturdays at Seven” conversation series, Todd Ream talks with Peter W. Marty, Editor and Publisher of The Christian Century. Marty opens by discussing the theological commitments that prove imperative when coming to terms with grace. When doing so, he compares the commitments Dietrich Bonhoeffer noted in The Cost of Discipleship with the commitments he noted in The Anatomy of Grace. He then transitions to discussing his call to the ministry, one with which he did not begin to grapple until his senior year at Colorado College. After attending Yale University Divinity School, that calling would eventually lead him to serve as the senior minister at Davenport, Iowa’s St. Paul Lutheran Church for 28 years. Marty discusses the vocational satisfaction he experienced while serving in the same roll that long while also thinking through the practices and habits that make such a tenure possible. Marty’s retirement, however, would prove short-lived as he would soon accept an appointment as editor and publisher of The Christian Century—a role from which he also derives great vocational satisfaction and still holds to this day. Marty then closes by discussing the virtues one needs to cultivate when leading such an effort in the age in which we presently live.
