Please join us this Sunday (15 July 2012) at 11:00 AM for “Faith Development in a 21st Century World” by Dr. David Otto (Professor of Religious Studies — Centenary College of Louisiana)
Please join us this Sunday to welcome Dr. Otto to our pulpit. He says of his message
“Faith” is not only what you believe, but how you live those beliefs in the world and in relationship to your sense of a Transcendent Other. “Development” focuses on both our increased cognitive abilities as well as “expanding our circles” of inclusivity and global justice. Faith is a lifelong journey, which can be charted in six general stages that can be very fluid in nature. The local and global challenges of the 21st century can actually stunt our faith development if we respond out of fear and ignorance instead of in the spirit of love, a desire for knowledge, a longing for adventure and a thirst for peace.
