Faithful Dissent: Loving Our Way into a Brighter Tomorrow (ChurchNext)
We live in increasingly divisive times. From politics to sports, the gift of human difference can quickly become a chasm of serious discord and division. What does it mean for good Christians to disagree? How do we do so faithfully? Should Christians protest? How should they do so?
In this free online course, you can get answers from two prominent and in many ways, opposing camps. Social activist Ed Bacon believes Christians should be at the cutting edge of social protest. Ethicist Stanley Hauerwas believes Christians best shine their light by living faithful lives, as people distinct from the world. Their views come to light in these four video presentations:
- Finding Christ in Conflict
- The Nature of Dissent
- Witness and Dissent
- How We Dissent
This online course right will remain open and free through Monday, September 25 – that means you can take it for free anytime, 24/7, during that time period.

Evangelism in a New Light (United Church of Canada)
One of the earliest admonitions in life is this: “Pay Attention.”
One of the hardest things in the world to do is this: “Pay Attention.”
Nobody attends to attention. People teach how to think, not how to pay attention. But paying attention changes one’s brain, one’s being, one’s future.
Evangelism is the art of paying attention. We live in an attention-deficit-culture more adept at gaining attention than at paying attention. This webinar explores how evangelism is more pay attention than attract attention. The best evangelists are not the attention-getters, but attention-givers, those who can read the signs of what God is up to. In a world where everyone suffers from attention deficit disorder, disciples of Jesus are people with Attention Surplus Disorder.
