There's
a world just outside your church doors inhabited
by people "who
are interested in spirituality but not religion, who
are seeking God but not in the church."
Award-winning
author Philip Yancey calls these
folks "Borderlanders" ? and he writes to and
for them in his latest work, Rumors
of Another World. Free
downloads from Rumors
of Another World.Philip will
focus on people's fascination with
spirituality and how that can point
them to the God of the Bible when Church Communication
Network hosts
An Evening with Philip Yancey on
Sunday, September 14. This
live, interactive satellite broadcast
is a great event to invite your "borderland" friends
to experience. "I can't think of a more custom-tailored
group for a church interested in outreach than borderlanders," Philip
says. "We have to dismantle stereotypes and overcome
resistance, but with borderlanders, you're dealing with
people who already sense a spark of spiritual awakening.
"I
celebrate the common ground we share, a belief that
there are invisible, spiritual forces at work in
the world. From that common ground, I move on to
the differences and, frankly, I think Christianity
stands up pretty well in comparison." Get ready for
an insightful, challenging Evening with Philip Yancey as
he looks what attracts people to the "Borderlands of
Belief" and how we are called by God to reach out
to these people who have an avowed interest in spiritual
matters.
