A Christian Union Virtual Forum held on September 21, 2021
Social critic and author Os Guinness wove together Scripture, history, and a nuanced, thoughtful assessment of the crisis now facing our country. He began by detailing the history of revolutions and the lessons we can learn from that past. He tackled challenging questions from audience members on a huge range of topics about a world that so often seems to set on disobeying God. Os finished his commentary with a powerful call to all faithful Christians: "Let's make sure that we understand great biblical truths like human dignity and justice, and we are known to be the champions and defenders of the highest views of human justice and freedom that the current world knows."Learn More about CU New York
