SUMMARY:What is Discipleship in the Information Age?
DESCRIPTION:What is Discipleship in the Information Age? \nCertain core principles of faithful discipleship remain constant — such as telling the truth (1 John 2:24) — but the way disciples practice them in the 21st century may look different from how it looked in the 1st. Faith is a main driver of human behavior and so those who teach it bear additional power and responsibility. \nMonday\, December 12; 12:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nMinnesota Church Center\n122 West Franklin Avenue\, Minneapolis \nJoin a clergy convening organized by Minnesota Council of Churches and the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy to share what faithful discipleship in the information age means to you. \nFor more information or to register: Peacemakers | Minnesota Council of Churches (mnchurches.org)
