EVENT INFORMATION
Faith Book Study - "Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim Jesus" by Jim Wallis
EQUIP EVENT
Tuesdays Beginning October 7th | 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Aldersgate UMC (Church Library)
The next Faith Book Study will look at the book "Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim Jesus" by Jim Wallis. Wallis argues that our cultural and political crisis largely stems from how the American church has become disconnected from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Wallis points to eight radical questions central to Jesus' teaching: the Neighbor Question, the Image Question, the Truth Question, the Caesar Question, the Peacemaker Question, and the Discipleship Question. By asking these questions, we can measure whether we are thinking and acting "in Jesus' name."
Wallis' prophetic vision and pastoral wisdom both provoke and counsel, guiding us forward during this time of confusion and fear. He reveals how following the teachings of Jesus emboldens and empowers us to "be not afraid," but to act in courage and hope.
Co-Sponsored by Aldersgate UMC & Ventures in Community (Mt. Vernon area’s 50-year-old Interfaith Coalition).
Facilitator: Rev. Dr. Keary Kincannon
Registration will open on August 25th.
