Edward Bernays may not be a familiar name. Yet his philosophy permeates our lives, our culture. In this way we know him.

Date & Time: Sunday June 18, 9:30am-10:30am

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? Paul’s response to this question can be characterized as The paradox of the cross; a different way to live, one that turns society on its head.
