Has your local church or community been affected by growing political and cultural polarization? Have relationships in your congregation or community been strained, disrupted, or broken as a result?
Path 1 New Church Starts at Discipleship Ministries invites you to the Discerning the Spirits Roundtable. This is a conversation designed to equip leaders of new, emerging, and existing congregations as they navigate these challenging realities in their communities. Come and learn as local church and community leaders share how they are leading and where they are seeing signs of hope. Together, we will explore how the church can respond faithfully through discernment, courageous conversations, repair, compassion, and renewed allegiance to Jesus Christ.
This roundtable continues the conversation from the 4-part Discerning the Spirits article series, which explores political and cultural polarization and what faithful Christian witness can look like in the midst of it.
