Practical Liberation Theology for People Who Thought They Were Already Free
Practical Liberation Theology for People Who Thought They Were Already Free

Liberation theology claims the thrust of scripture is freedom for all of creation. We become a force for communal liberation in the world as we ourselves are being freed internally. In this 6-week workshop, led by Sara Beth Terrell, we will explore Jesus’ proclamation of an alternative reality to the lived reality of the Roman empire.

Praying Even When It's Hard
