Michael’s window on our world is framed by his experience in a variety of ministry positions in a variety of Christian denominations. From his new role as the General Secretary of the General Council, Michael will engage us in seeing our own denomination with clear eyes, unshuttered by our denominational history. Join Michael to engage with him on the work of becoming the denomination God calls to be and become.
Prophets tell us what is up ahead, bring bold ideas, and stay connected to the Divine so they speak from the heart. In this 4 part series, Postmodern Prophets: 4 Windows on our World, some of our best post-modern prophets share what is on their hearts and minds to inspire, challenge and intrigue us. Preachers, teachers, and rebel rousers welcome!
