Edward Bernays may not be a familiar name. Yet his philosophy permeates our lives, our culture. In this way we know him.
Coming together each week includes more than worship. We can expect to be equipped to share the gospel with the “world.”

As we face troubled times, our present crisis provides an opportunity to revisit our identity. Who are we and what is this thing we call church?
