Description
The recent pandemic and events of the past few years have challenged and even shaken the faith of many. The God we met in Sunday School or Youth group or even on a college campus now seems too small, too narrow, too white or too weak to match up to the ugliness of modern-day isms and the turmoil of our adult lives. This workshop is designed to help participants reconnect with a God who right now may feel foreign or distant and to reimagine a more just, loving and prophetic church and our place in it.
