Practicing Unity when Things Fall Apart


  • First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia 201 South 21st Street Philadelphia, PA, 19103 United States (map)

A two-part Adult CE Series on the history of First Church

Don't miss two intriguing classes on Sunday, January 29 and Sunday, February 5 after the 11 AM worship service when Dr. Baron Mullis and Rev. Kenneth Ross explore the historic patterns of our disunity, and the spiritual resources for reunion, upon which we might call as we confront a secular America that seems resigned to alienation, fragmentation, and disintegration.

  • January 29 with Rev. Ross. “Things Fall Apart.” What can we learn from two sharp divisions of our church and their subsequent reunions?

  • February 5 with Dr. Mullis: “Belonging in an Age of Disintegration.” What might we learn from our contentious history, and how might we join in the rescue our common faith?

Please join us in-person in the MacColl Room or remotely via Zoom. For remote attendance, please register below or call the church office. You may also find the link on the event listing in the Realm Connect app.
