Confessions of a Sinful Church
Jericho Ridge Fall Teaching Series: Sept 14 - Nov 23, 2008
We are fallen, sinful people; desperately in need of forgiveness. History bears witness to the fact that many shameful acts have been done "in the name of Christianity." It's unfortunate, but true. And, it demands an apology.
On behalf of the Christian community, JRCC apologized for some of the sins that the church has committed during the fall 2008 teaching series. We confessed for wrongs such as the Medieval Crusades, our mistreatment of homosexuals, our poor ecological behaviour and for our hyprocritical and judgmental behaviour.
