Supporters of Lutheran CORE are cordially invited to attend a special event sponsored cooperatively by several midwestern WordAlone Chapters. Sharing the name of the newly released book by the WordAlone Network, the event is entitled "By What Authority?" It will feature presentations on the state of the church in the present culture. The event will be held on Sunday, September 14, 2008, at the Mount Carmel Ministries new camp chapel facility (800 Mt. Carmel Drive, Alexandria, Minnesota).
The event is being sponsored by four WordAlone Chapters, from: the St. Cloud area, the Alexandria area, the Fargo area, and the Starbuck area. Other ministries connected with WordAlone and Lutheran CORE will be in attendance.
By the way, if you have not yet purchased a copy, you can order the book: "By What Authority" online by following the link HERE. Subtitled: "confronting churches who no longer believe their own message," the book features a collection of essays by laity, clergy, and scholars.
