Description

We live in a world that is undergoing dramatic cultural changes. As we encounter these changes, will we approach the world with the same set of lenses as in previous generations? Or will we confront elements of our cultural captivity that free us to engage this multicultural reality with a fresh perspective? In this evening lecture, Soong-Chan Rah addresses key aspects of our changing world and seeks a theology of lament that engages the breadth of Christianity in the twenty-first century, and looks towards biblical and historical examples to guide our emerging framework.
