In pagan Germany sometime in the 8th century, legend has it that a Christian monk, who would later become known as Saint Boniface, gathered a tribe of non-believers around him and their most sacred tree. Thought to incite a vengeful bolt of lightning from Thor himself if cut down, Boniface, in front of all who could see, felled the tree with a single chop of the axe, aided by a gust of wind seemingly from another divinity, and no lightning. In that moment, the onlookers were converted to Christianity. Tonight, we are joined by the author of ‘The Boniface Option’, Pastor Andrew, to explore why the analogy of a bold and visceral attack against false idols may be fitting for addressing the troubles of our “trashworld” times.
