Renewing the Church, Changing the World. August 31, 2016. August 31, 2014. By The Rev. Dr. Jay. I do not mean that Ferguson, Missouri, is somehow a first-century locale, especially with all the twenty-first century military gear on display of late to keep unarmed protesters terrorized. I do mean that some first-century Christian insights might help some of us to think a bit differently about race and violence and Gospel in the U.S. today. In that ancient story, Peter and his.

Renewing the Church, Changing the World. August 31, 2016. The Eighth Day: Bloody Memories and Hopeful Futures. January 1, 2015. By The Rev. Dr. Jay.
