Livestream Freezing Up?

We believe that updated coding issues have caused our livestream to freeze. We hope we've addressed the problem, but we won’t know for sure until after Sunday's services.

The Church and Contemporary Political Dysfunctions

Dr. Mark Douglas, Director of Center for Theology & Contested Publics at Columbia Theological Seminary

The realities of political dysfunctions in the United States not only confront us daily; they sometimes threaten to overwhelm us. If we are to respond to them, it helps not only to get a better sense of how they manifest themselves (including in the church) but also a deeper sense of the forces that have given rise to them. This class names some of those manifestations, explores the forces that have given rise to them, and suggests ways that persons of faith might go forward not only in the face of our dysfunctions, but maybe in ways that diminish the chaos that such dysfunction creates.

Leadership Transition Website

How in the world will we find our next Senior Pastor? What's the difference between the Transition Team and the Pastor Nominating Committee? How can I voice the qualities that I find important for our next leader? You can find all these answers and more on our new website, WLTNashville.church, which details the whole pastoral transition process. Also on this website, you'll find the visioning covenant, purpose and mission statements guiding the prayerful process of filling Donovan's shoes. You can leave comments and questions on the Feedback page, and its Updates page is where you can watch a video of our last Congregational meeting about the transition, as well as read timely updates on our progress.
