Based on their recently-released book, “Uncommon Ground: Living Faithfully in a World of Difference,” co-editors and contributors alike will take part in a free live-stream event to discuss a vital question: How can Christians find common ground with those whose beliefs are radically different than their own?
This discussion seems to be more needed than ever as our nation looks to move forward through COVID-19 while there is great disagreement about what that should look like. A conversation between the contributors before the book was written gives some insight into where the live-stream might go.
We need to get away from the idea that Christians are a certain “type” of people. It’s (societal discord) is not all of our fault but it is all of our problem.
Co-authors/editors Pastor Tim Keller and Professor John Inazu will be joined by contributors:
- Tish Harrison Warren, writer and Anglican priest;
- Lecrae, storyteller and Grammy, Dove and BET award-winning Christian hip hop artist;
- Sara Groves, songwriter and singer;
- Trillia Newbell, reconciler, author, speaker, commentator and Director of Community Outreach for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission for the Southern Baptist Convention;
- Claude Alexander, peacemaker and Senior Pastor of The Park Church in Charlotte, North Carolina;
- Kristen Deede Johnson, theologian, writer and speaker;
- Tom Lin, adventurer and President of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship;
- Shirley V. Hoogstra, bridge-builder and President of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities;
- Rudy Carrasco, entrepreneur, author, speaker and program director at the Murdock Trust; and
- Warren Kinghorn, caregiver, psychiatrist and author, who is jointly appointed within Duke Divinity School and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences of Duke University Medical Center and is a staff psychiatrist at the Durham VA Medical Center.
