Chaos, Decline, Revitalization and Rebirth

Is the church today dying or struggling to be reborn? Are we called to be chaplains of what was or midwives of what God is birthing in our midst? Together we will engage with prophetic voices, both ancient and contemporary, giving expression to what we are called to put down and what we are called to take up. The course will include presentation, discussion and curated videos from theologians, biblical scholars and pastors, including Walter Brueggemann, Ilia Delio, Brian McLaren, Emilie Townes and Brandan Robertson.
