Courageous Conversations: What’s the big deal about Confederate Monuments?

July 24, 2020 By Pastor Hugh

As part of our ongoing Courageous Conversations series, we invite you to join us Wednesday the 29th of July at 7 PM for an open honest conversation answering these questions”

What’s the Big Deal About Confederate Monuments? And what about Christian Conquest of the Americas?

Please read these two articles prior to Wednesday:

Courageous Conversations

July 23, 2020 By Pastor Hugh

When did it become so hard to talk about everything?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a civil, yet courageous, conversation about the issues that divide us?

A place where we can ask hard questions, where we can hear from people who are not like us, and where we can maybe learn something new while we are at it?

Open Door is hosting what we call Courageous Conversations every Wednesday night at 7PM on Zoom. Follow us here or on Facebook for updates.
