Gospel and Strategy

Pastor Willcox takes us on a whirlwind tour to do the right thing. First, we have to really wrestle with what a late first-century gospel writer is saying to a radically changing Christian Church. Then the tour starts with two twentieth-century theologians, and two Yale professors who dabble in administrative science, a predominately white church in a predominately black city, and two black theologians. It all winds down, believe it or not, to a modest neighborhood organization led by a bright and inspired woman in a small city on Michigan's west coast. None of these people really agree much with each other, but they are all trying to do the right thing. It begins from the ground-up in a Spirit-infused perfectly messy world, and it all makes sense from God-down.
