Show Notes

In this Sunday conversation, Dr. Greg Garrett invites us into engagement with Hollywood films, American literature, and, in particular, the writer and activist James Baldwin, to see what they can teach us about loss and redemption in the Christian tradition. 

Our Adult Formation Crail C series during the season of Eastertide is entitled Practicing Resurrection. Guest speakers who are writers and poets will be invite us to think about resurrection, not just as the promise of heaven or eternal life, but also as a life-giving reality in the world today that turns things upside down for the sake of God’s love.
