Description
The word evangelism often brings up images of people knocking on doors, handing out pamphlets, or being cornered by others asking, “Have you been saved? When?” Even if you have positive experiences of evangelism, you may question just how to faithfully share the “good news” in a way that isn’t overbearing or come off as manipulative. And what about those who don’t trust the church or Christians because they have experienced spiritual or religious abuse or harm? Or that assume that all Christians are Christian Nationalists? This workshop will help participants explore their thoughts and feelings about evangelism, engage their theological imagination, and create personal strategies they can take back to their faith communities to invite others to participate in their faith communities and embody a witness of empathy and justice.
