Live Biblical Ethics Session: The Lord Roars

(All Anglicans)

Please come as Dr. Carroll Rodas opens up Scripture with a focus on Biblical ethics, unpacking how God desires his people to engage society, culture, and the “quartet of the vulnerable:” the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the stranger.

What is M25i? The beauty of the Church is that we are invited to each play a unique role in pushing back the darkness of injustice through the gritty work of loving our neighbors as ourselves. We are invited to contend for shalom in all the broken places. And we need the diversity of the gifting, talents, and roles to do the creative work of contending for shalom. M25i is a network of Practitioners, Supporters, Learners, and Teachers. Each role is necessary to contend for Shalom.
