February Book Study

Select Thursdays

In today’s late modern world, Christianity is often questioned and sometimes dismissed by society. Maybe your friends, adult children, or teens are asking questions about faith as they encounter such doubts. The old ways of engaging doubters and non-believers don’t seem to resonate any longer.

In his book Telling a Better Story: How to Talk About God in a Skeptical Age, Joshua D. Chatraw presents careful analysis of our culture and offers “inside out” apologetics to engage the new questions respectfully. Join Ansley Page and faith friends to discuss Chatraw’s ideas learning how to speak love and faith to our culture’s deepest aspirations. We will be meeting February 9 & 23, 5:30–6:30 in the Small Private Dining Room. Interested? Contact Rev. Ansley Page.
