Conversations on Courage and Faith
"The times are difficult. They call for courage and faith." Father Thomas Merton, Advent-Christmas Letter 1967
The challenges facing the contemporary church are both daunting and exciting. How can we express the love of God in an increasingly secular age? How do we wage peace in a time of social polarization and global conflict? Are there new ways of doing church that will awaken others to the relevance of our faith?
Conversations on Courage and Faith is a program that seeks to provide environments, lectures, artistic performances and spiritual experiences that will inspire and equip people to live Christianly in our postmodern world. The hope of this spiritual formation series is to stimulate generative conversation about what it means to follow Jesus faithfully and courageously in our daily lives.
