A New Family - Throwing Open the Doors of the Sanctuary
Adult Education will be presenting a five week short film series featuring Rachel Held Evans entitled “A New Family - Throwing Open the Doors of the Sanctuary”.
Through her writing and speaking, Rachel’s work opened a space for people to become involved with the evolution of their faith by example. Her books and gatherings created a safe space for people to allow and examine their beliefs and doubts. She was a voice of inclusion and social justice. She strived to be grace-full while admitting her imperfection. Her advocation was for the heart of God which is for the people of God. All people, a diverse bunch of clumsy-yet-beautiful people of different races, cultures, beliefs, faiths, genders, and sexual orientations just doing our best to be human. She was a person who reached for the outsider and brought their voice and perspective into the fold. She inspired change and sometimes provoked resistance. But as she says in this series, her hope was to start more conversations than end them.
