My good friend, John Armstrong, is leading the Winebrenner Seminary annual Ritz Lecture Series this coming Monday here in Findlay. I am leading a workshop in the afternoon as part of it on the practical application of missional ecumenism, John’s premise (and rightly, I believe) that the greatest scandal of the Church is our division, our choice not to love one another for the sake of doctrinal purity, denominational history, or (my words here) pure stupidity on our part thinking we are right.
Here is the full schedule and registration links. If you haven’t registered yet and live in Ohio our southern Michigan, the book Your Church Is Too Small is well worth the read and a day with John well worth the trip.
