Rev. Will Willimon to preach at Covenant 
Sunday, Jan. 8, 9:30 and 11 a.m.

Rev. Willimon, one of America's best known preachers, served as dean of Duke Chapel and professor at Duke for 20 years.


In his new book, Dr. Willimon describes the God who comes to us through so-called outsiders, immigrants and those without status. Christians must become "other" to the world, shaking off the dominant culture's identity and privilege through listening and understanding.
 

He will speak at 9:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall and also preach in the 11 a.m. sanctuary service..
