Reflections on Life After Doom

Rev. Dr. Mark Y.A. Davies, guest minister

You can download the morning program – or read it below without having to download it – here.

This discourse will explore Brian McLaren’s most recent book, Life After Doom. McLaren believes that we cannot ignore that “unpeaceful, uneasy, and unwanted feeling” that the world is not as it should be, and we have to be awake to the reality of the peril of our current situation in order to experience and engage life more fully even in the midst of doom.
