Changing the world one carnival at a time: Witnessing to God’s story through samba and Beethoven

 

Sometimes God’s story gets lost amid glamour and show, or suffering and violence. Brazil has all of these. The world does, too. Have we lost track of the story and failed to live as God’s faithful witnesses? What does it look like to live the Christian story, whether to the tune of samba or Beethoven? These and other such questions will be explored during this presentation. Come dance and be a storyteller with us!
