Here in the 21st century, some of our leading Christian thinkers - people like Phyllis Tickle, Brian McLaren, Richard Rohr, and Diana Butler Bass - contend that we are on the verge of another reformation that may prove to be as world-transforming as the one 500 years ago. What does this mean for ordinary Christians? How can we be faithful to Christ and His Gospel in a world where change - both inside and outside the Church - is so radical, so non-stop, so all-pervasive? This series hopes to explore these questions by prayerfully reflecting on "The Once and Future Christian."
Session IV (Jan. 28): Waiting for a New Saint Benedict: How the Wisdom of the Past can illuminate our path into the future. |
