Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell for this wrap-up talk on our Sacred Roots series.

In the Sacred Roots series, we have surveyed the history and development of the Church of Jesus Christ from its founding through to the end  of the Reformation.  We will look at what happened during this 1600 years, both the good and the bad, and consider how this history may effectively give direction to the contemporary church.

An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

Stephen Russell has taught at Faith Builders for 23 years.  Prior to that, he has taught in private Christian schools for five years and worked for Choice Books for 18 years. He received a BA in European Studies from George Mason University and an MA in Church History and Theology from Wheaton Grad School.

Stephen was drawn to the Anabaptists after he gave his life to the Lord and realized that God doesn’t want His people killing anyone.  Just before he turned 21, he joined the Beachy Amish as a result of his quest for a nonresistant church. In 2008, he wrote a book on the historical and theological basis for nonresistance called Overcoming Evil God’s Way.
