About the Lectures

Engagement for the church has become a challenge as hostility has risen against those who believe. But the early church knew what is was to be a social minority not respected by many around them. The lecture series looked at how the early church discussed engagement. Without entitlement, but armed with God’s grace they made a difference. The series considered how the New Testament discusses engagement and the concrete things required to engage well.
