In 2026, The Gathering Place will celebrate 40 years of providing safety, support, and hope to women, gender-expansive people, and their children experiencing poverty and homelessness in Denver.

To honor this milestone, we are hosting a special anniversary celebration: The Art of Hope: 40 Years of Gathering — an evening dedicated to community, creativity, and impact.

This unforgettable event will bring together 250 community members, partners, artists, and advocates for a night of:

• Curated hors d’oeuvres and beverages

• Art exhibition 

• Silent auction featuring art and more

• Stories of resilience, hope, and community

• Opportunities to invest in lasting stability for our neighbors

For four decades, we have opened our doors to thousands of community members seeking immediate needs and long-term pathways to stability. As our city faces rising housing costs and increasing economic uncertainty, this moment calls us not only to celebrate — but to recommit.

The Art of Hope will raise critical funds to ensure we can continue providing resources, safety, and opportunity for as long as our community needs us.

Biography

Hanna Reichel is Charles Hodge Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary and holds a research fellowship at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. An internationally renowned scholar and widely sought speaker, Reichel has previously taught at Heidelberg University and Halle-Wittenberg University in Germany and the Protestant Theological University in Utrecht.

Reichel’s areas of interest span Christian doctrine and political theology, with special interests in Christology, theological anthropology, eschatology, the doctrine of God, theological method and critical epistemologies. Reichel’s first book, Theologie als Bekenntnis: Karl Barths kontextuelle Lektüre des Heidelberger Katechismus reframes Barth as a contextual theologian through his repeated engagements with this Reformed confession over the course of his life. The book received the Lautenschläger Award for Theological Promise and the Ernst Wolf Award. Reichel’s second book, After Method: Queer Grace, Conceptual Design, and the Possibility of Theology has been widely celebrated for building bridges between Queer-liberationist and Reformed-Systematic sensibilities, as well as constructively introducing design theory into conversations about theological method. Reichel’s newest book, For Such a Time as This: An Emergency Devotional is directed at a wider audience, offering a timely resource for ordinary Christians seeking to live faithfully in extraordinary times of societal upheaval and political fragility.

Reichel is currently working on two monograph-length projects: Against Humanity takes a critical inventory of theological conceptions of the human being in light of anti-humanist interventions across a range of disciplines. Political Theologies of Omniscience analyzes technology through a doctrinal lens, bringing surveillance studies and AI in conversation with historical debates on divine omniscience.

Reichel co-chairs AAR’s Christian Systematic Theology unit and is a member of the steering committee of the Karl Barth Society of North America and the annual International Karl Barth Conference in Switzerland. Reichel co-edits Brill’s Studies in Systematic Theology series and Routledge’s Karl Barth Studies series and chairs Princeton Theological Seminary’s Center for Barth Studies advisory board. Reichel’s work has also been featured in public outlets such as The Atlantic, the Presbyterian Foundation’s Leading Theologically, and CTI’s Theology Matters. A ruling elder in the PC (USA), Reichel serves on the Theology Working Group of the World Communion of Reformed Churches and preached the closing sermon at the 2025 Deutsche Evangelische Kirchentag in Hannover.
