But What About...?

"Questions about the meaning of your life affect your whole person. They are connected not only with the way you think and act; but also, and even more so, with the way you are a human being, and with the bond between you and verything that is."
- Henri Nouwen, Letters to Marc About Jesus

You might remember that back in January, during our "Where is God When..." sermon series, we asked you to share God Sightings as well as big questions that you hoped we would talk about at BACC this year. What a gift to read all of the many ways this church sees God throughout the week—in nature, in children, in music, in the love of friends and family.

Looking over the questions, I saw a common theme emerge: how do we maintain our identity as faithful followers of Jesus while interacting with a world that is complex, constantly changing, and at times overwhelming?

Beginning June 18th and running through July 9th, we'll begin wrestling together with some of these big, tough questions in a series called "I'm Christian, But What About....?" We'll explore what it means to follow Christ in a world that seems increasingly secularized; in the midst of religious diversity; when forgiveness seems impossible; and when we're not sure if we're doing or believing enough to really call ourselves Christian.

Asking—and wrestling with—the big questions is an important way we deepen our faith. It's part of how we help each other write our wholeness stories. A community that is comfortable with asking big questions together is a community that is ready to welcome all to Christ's table and to share with those who are questioning too. How grateful I am to serve just such a community of faith!

Grace + Peace,

David

Sojourners Zoom Sunday School Class - NO CLASSES IN SUMMER

We will not be meeting during the Summer. This past year, we have been studying the "other" books of the New Testament. Recordings of all of our classes are available for you to watch on the Sojourners Sunday School page and on the BACC YouTube channel.
