Let’s Talk About Playing God
Excerpt from culture-making.com “Andy Crouch explores the subject of power and its subtle activity in our relationships and institutions. Giving more than a warning against abuse, Crouch turns the notion of “playing God” on its head, celebrating power as the gift by which we join in God’s creative, redeeming work in the world.”
This evening Andy will facilitate and lead us in a conversation about human’s role in God’s economy. What are the implications to our day to day lives if we re-enact our creative, life giving and redeeming role that we were originally ordained with?
