Building A Bigger Table For An All-Inclusive Church with John Pavlovitz
No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to be told that despite the open chairs there isn’t room for you. The rejection stings. Yet, this is exactly what Christian churches have been saying to far too many people for far too long.
Can churches, and their members, learn to welcome and accept LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, global concerns, and theological shifts? Can they extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world increasingly marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion?
John Pavlovitz, author of A Bigger Table says the answer is, Yes!
Join Sylvia and her guest, John Pavlovitz, as they discuss what happens when churches practice radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and create agenda-free communities.
