Is the Church Essential?

We're taking a deeper dive into the culture we live in. We'll need three things: (1) An understanding of the culture we find ourselves in. (2) A sharp analysis of the cracks in the smooth, seemingly solid narrative that our culture tells us about what it means to live a good life. (3) A new imagination of what it looks like for the gospel of Christ to open up and thrive from within the cracks of our culture.  This podcast comes from clergy and laypeople at Church of the Atonement in Buffalo, and St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church in Tonawanda, New York.
