VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 5/16/16)—Available now for free viewing on American Baptist Home Mission Societies’ (ABHMS) website is the second Bible study presented by renowned theologian Brian McLaren at ABHMS’ “Space for Grace” gathering.

In his own inimitable style, McLaren explores “Restoring Human Connection: Religion, Politics, and the Bible” (Acts 10:1-48), as videotaped live at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel during ABHMS’ highly rated November 2015 event.

From the privacy of your own home or office or with your small study group or Sunday school class, examine God’s Word as only McLaren could bring it to life.

The video can be found at www.abhms.org > Space for Grace.
