Session Description
This workshop focuses on worship and social transformation in Jonathan Edwards and Abraham Kuyper. There is a shift taking place in the Christian Reformed Church in the last 75 years, a shift towards this world. The CRC has shifted from being afraid of worldliness to a kind of nervousness about being otherworldly. It is possible to phrase these in the opposite way, where our devotion of Christ has us hate the devil and his works to shifting towards our appreciation towards God as a creator, and we are upset about all forms of greed, exploitation, and abuse.
