Book Discussion with Ryan Burge | Sunday, March 15 at 6:30 PM on Zoom

Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Ryan Burge about his book The Vanishing Church: How the Hollowing Out of Moderate Congregations is Hurting Democracy, Faith, and Us. This discussion will explore the decline of moderate religious communities and its implications for our democracy and faith.
