Future Faith – Coming Soon (#1820)

2019/08/25 By Greg

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a class titled “Future Faith” at First Presbyterian Church (Fort Worth, Texas) starting Sunday, September 15. The class will meet for 11 consecutive Sundays at 10:00 a.m. All are welcome.

The class is inspired by Wesley Granberg-Michaelson’s book Future Faith: Ten Challenges Reshaping Christianity in the 21st Century
– a book I named one of my top two books of 2018.

Granberg-Michaelson’s ten challenges and opportunities for the American church are presented in light of what is happening in global Christianity.

I’d welcome hearing your thoughts:

  • Which of these challenges would you be most interested in learning about?
  • When you think of the challenges facing your congregation or American Christianity more generally, how much consideration (if any) do you give to shifts in global Christianity?

Note: I developed the graphical representation of the ten challenges shown above using images I licensed from the noun project alongside the names Granberg-Michaelson assigned each challenge.
