What is the Christian message today
…in
a climate in which the lens of our moral compass
may
be clouded by the constant rhetoric of intolerance, supremacy, misogyny, and
jockeying for the crumbs that fall from the tables of America’s wealthy top 2%?
You are invited to the PBA Clergy’s 1st Annual Missiological
Conversation.
Our Missiological Conversation begins at 9:00am.
Join us at the tables for a time of sharing and fellowship. Church leaders are
invited to talk to one another about what we do, why we do it, and how it’s
done, in the name of Jesus Christ (mission). Please see the reverse side of
this flyer for the program format.
We will have two speakers to help us investigate our concern for the
Christian moral compass across the Nation and in Metro-Philadelphia. They will
reflect on the theme Her Faith, Her Lens!!
