Dominique Gilliard & Kurt Peterson - Unity and Diversity in the Church

Recording of the American Evangelicalism Theology Lab session from October 23, 2022 with guests, Rev. Dominique Gilliard (Evangelical Covenant Church) and Dr. Kurt Peterson (College of Lake County; former History professor at North Park University).Dominique and Kurt, with Scott Rice (moderator), discuss what unity in the midst of diversity looks like, both within the tradition of the Covenant and in evangelicalism today. Other topics of discussion include individualism and a sense of collective identity, and how the church community is called to the work of racial justice. This conversation will be of interest for anyone who's curious about how the church can maintain a sense of unity (over uniformity), grounded in the person of Christ, while approaching diversity and differences as potential strengths to the church's witness.Learn more about Highrock's Theology Lab: highrock.org/theologylabfacebook: / highrocktheologylab X: https://twitter.com/Theology_LabPodcast includes original music ("Imagination") written by Dean Payla, produced by PALA.
