New 10-week Faith Book Study beginning October 7th. Led by Rev. Dr. Keary Kincannon. EVENT INFORMATION < Previous Event Back to Upcoming Events Back Next Event > 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 Sign Up to Attend Registration will open on August 25th. Please RSVP with your contact information to indicate your interest in attending this book study. Participants are asked to please obtain a copy of the book and read the first chapter before the first class. For more information contact Rev. Dr. Keary Kincannon at keary.kincannon@gmail.com .
