About this Service
Come and hear about individuals who have positively impacted and altered our world because they refused to accept first assumptions, and to stay within even widely accepted ideological frameworks. They had the courage to challenge and transform our world beyond those frameworks and first assumptions. In the arena of our theological and cosmological traditions we need individuals who are willing to be “idea heroes”.
