Falling Forward: Ministry in the Secular Age

falling forward Sep 24-02.png

There is a vague sense of malaise, we are in uncharted territory, we are facing challenges the church seems ill equipped to handle. The revolution is coming.

Join us for a Collective Learning Experience centered around the work of Charles Taylor as we wrestle with what ministry looks like in the secular age? We’ll discuss what is means be pastors in the secular age, what faith formation looks like and how to do ministry in the secular age. Bring your own insight into the work of Charles Taylor. If you haven’t encountered this thinking yet, here are a number of resources you can explore:
