If I hear “these troubled times” one more time, I might scream! However, 2020 has been – so far! – a year to remember … or to forget! With so much uncertainty (2020 election, CoVid vaccine, unabated racism in this country), what do we do in the meantime? Plan for an eventual “Return to Normal” whenever we can? Emigrate to a friendly country that’s got its priorities right? Hunker down for the duration of the storms? What options do you see? How would you like to be known for how you have prepared for the future? Join Marc for an exploratory journey into how we might “live these days as anticipation” for how to live better the days after “these troubled times.”
Marc Mullinax is Professor of Religion at Mars Hill University. His courses include “Religions in Appalachia,” “Hinduism & Buddhism,” “Angels & Demons: A History of the Religious Imagination,” and “Religions in America.” His book, Tao te Ching: Power for the Peaceful, will be published later this year or early next year by Fortress Press. During this time of quarantine, he walks more and takes more pictures, which he posts to Instagram @marcmullinax. Marc remains a joyful Baptist, even though he has considered all the facts!
Until we feel that it is appropriate and prudent for us to hold our worship services in our sanctuary, we are recording our services for viewing via our YouTube channel . We make every effort to make the service available by Saturday afternoon. We encourage you to get to know us via these worship services. And, we hope to see you live and in person in the future!
