Engaging Faith and Culture
How NOT to Let Issues Prevent Relationships | January 8th
Rev. Dr. Chad Lakies
Think of a debate or conversation that included two or more parties on opposing sides. What were some of the characteristics of the discussion that seemed helpful or fruitful? What were some characteristics that seemed divisive and unhelpful? How has your church or the church at large allowed what we are against to eclipse what we’re for? How can emphasizing what we are FOR, strengthen relationships and serve as a witness to others we encounter in our everyday life?
