Declaration of Doubt

Peter Rollins and the Reverend Vince Anderson invite you to join them for an evening of dirty gospel and incendiary theology designed to challenge us all to embrace doubt, complexity and ambiguity. Not simply intellectually, but in the material practice of our hymns, prayers, sermons and rituals. Complete with altar call!

The Reverend Vince Anderson was born in Fresno, CA. (The raisin capital of the world)He moved to New York City in 1994 to study at Union Theological Seminary with the intention of becoming a Methodist minister. The Reverend lasted 3 months in seminary, where upon he felt that God was calling him to minister in bars and taverns. He grabbed his accordian and piano, and promptly started holding weekly “Services” in New York’s Lower East Side and in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In 2007 the Rev. Vince met Jay Baker, the son of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. The Reverend was asked by Jay to be his assistant pastor and was switched his ordination to the Revolution Church.
