The Urgency of Ecumenism
Norm Whitcomb, engineer and author, will present a series of talks on his book: Myopic Man: Can a united church prevent the collapse of the American Empire?
Fr. Don Sutton will host and moderate the sessions. Please join us for what should be a provocative and valuable learning experience for both the Catholic and Lutheran communities.
Book summary:
Have you ever considered the fall of the American Empire? Neither did the Romans; but the Roman Empire collapsed mightily. The birth of the American Catholic Church separated from Rome? It will come. The unification of the American Catholic Church with the Progressive Christian Church -- it's coming. The end of the designations Protestant and Catholic -- it's time. The Reformation is over. Christians must unify and step up together to help save America before her infrastructure collapses. Norman Whitcomb is a layperson who wants to stir clergy, laypeople, and social activists alike to get both our country and church back on track. If economic imbalance gets much further out of kilter our economy will collapse. In Myopic Man, he takes the reader on his own spiritual journey and challenges others to do the same. He traces the evolution of both Hebrew and Christian religions and then to the dogma that was created that separates us. Norman believes that church dogma belongs only to the clergy that developed it, and that laypeople are much closer to agreement with the core elements of the Christian faith than clergy assume. |
