Coming This Week
Another week during which we can have some invigorating ideas for conversation. A first plunge into a book mentioned last week, another new book sketched, and continuation of two conversations already started.
Join us.

Single evangelical women struggling to stay in the church, and some leaving, why do they find the church to be a place to go in the first place? We turn to the first two chapters of Katie Gaddini’s new book on Tuesday.
