The Book Club will meet with Pastor David on Sunday, October 6th at 11:30 a.m. to discuss September's book selection, "I Can Do No Other" by Anna Madsen. If you haven't read the book but are interested in adding it to your book queue, read below to learn more.
Synopsis: Author Anna M. Madsen's book is a fresh and challenging look at the legacy of Martin Luther and the new reformation that is calling people of faith to action today. This book is born out of the conviction that at least two gods are currently competeting for our collective trust: Nationalism (and it's many sub-manifestations) and quietism. Both make a case for and a claim on our allegiance, each by way of different motivations of self and institutional protections. Madsen looks at today's modern context and asks: Where will the church stand in a day that is marked by globalization polarization, racism, bigotry and debates about justice for humanity and for the earth itself.
