The Good News Blog Series
JR Woodward, one of the pastors Kairos, an Ecclesia church in LA, recently concluded a fantastic series of blog posts on the Good News.
Contributors to this series included authors, bloggers, professors, and practitioners. It contained perspectives from different ethnicities and different genders, as well as from Asia, South America, Europe and North America. In this blog series each of the contributors summarized their understanding of the Good News in 300 to 500 words.
The series was excellent and we had a number of Ecclesia Pastors who took part in the series. You can find a full list of contributors here.
