The Satanta United Methodist Church's 21st Time Class will begin a DVD-based study of the book unChristian by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons this September. The book focuses on the (mis)perceptions that young people have about Christians and Christianity and what the church can do to transform the hearts of this generation. The publishers of the book put it this way:
Christians are supposed to represent Christ to the world. But according
to the latest report card, something has gone terribly wrong. Using
descriptions like “hypocritical,” “insensitive,”
and “judgmental,” young Americans share an impression of
Christians that’s nothing short of . . . unChristian.
Groundbreaking research into the perceptions of sixteen- to twenty-nine-year-olds
reveals that Christians have taken several giant steps backward in one
of their most important assignments. The surprising details of the study,
commissioned by Fermi Project and conducted by The Barna Group, are
presented with uncompromising honesty in unChristian.
Find out why these negative perceptions exist, learn how to reverse
them in a Christlike manner, and discover practical examples of how
Christians can positively contribute to culture.
Please consider joining the discussion, which will be held on the following four Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m. in the 21st Time classroom at the Satanta United Methodist Church:
- September 9
- September 16
- Septemeber 23
- September 30
