Without Walls: Do Religions Need Institutions?
Sunday, Oct. 28
Protestant Service, Main Chapel
Hendricks Chapel, SU Campus
11 a.m.-noon
As mainline denominations enter the 21st century, heated debates about declining institutional membership raise important questions about the shape of religious institutions. What might the practice of creating temporary deaf spaces offer us as a model for how social bonds form in the 21st century?
