What is reconciliation in the church? It is certainly not overlooking problems with the hope that things resolve themselves or forcing forgiveness without repentance and restoration of relationships. Join Rev. Dr. Jeffery Pulse as he broadens our theological understanding of reconciliation through an examination of Genesis, and Rev. John Rathje, who will provide pastoral counseling insight.
