"Tensions naturally are high in a crisis, but when a person becomes a follower of Christ, some of those practices clash with Scripture, creating new and sometimes intense tensions."

The workshop followed an approach of discovering rather than telling, in which participants evaluated their own culture in light of biblical truth. [more...]
