CHRISTIANITY TODAY AWARD WINNER TO SPEAK
Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church (EBIC) and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship will co-host the award winning author Andy Crouch. Crouch, author of Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling, and winner of Christianity Today’s 2009 Book Award for Christianity and Culture, will speak at EBIC on Sunday, April 19, 2009 during the 8:30 and 11:00 am worship services. He will focus upon our role in culture making and what that looks like. He will challenge attendees to be salt, light and leaven in the world. Crouch will also share during the adult elective time at 10:00 am.
Tom Grosh IV, on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and a member of EBIC explains that “rather than Christians separating themselves from the world in which we live, Andy advocates an approach where Christians participate in the culture in a Biblically centered, redeeming manner. It’s really just about following Jesus’ call for followers to be salt and light in our world.” He also notes that this topic fits well with how EBIC seeks to"engage Elizabethtown and the world with the love of Jesus Christ."
In support of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Crouch will also speak at a luncheon on the same day with the intent to encourage the development of a Christian Scholars Network in Central PA. This group’s purpose is to support, bless and equip Christian Scholars to be redeeming influences in higher education. For information regarding Crouch's visit, contact EBIC at 717-367-2651.
