Acclaimed author and social critic Dr. Os Guinness was the special guest speaker at the Christian Union New York City Forum. (52:02)

The 21st century church finds itself challenged with living faithfully and redemptively in a world increasingly at odds with faith. Os Guinness speaks eloquently on the compelling future and enduring power of faith.
