01 Mar Pastor Pat Bailey: Insights, “From Garden to Ghetto to Giants”
In last Sunday’s sermon, “From Garden to Ghetto to Giants,” I discuss what Ken Wilber calls the two major views of human evil and how to overcome it: the recapture-goodness model and the growth-to-goodness model. I then ask which of these is most supported by the Christian tradition using the stories of Eden and the tower of Babel and Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed.
