Carolyn Custis James is known for saying, “the moment the word ‘why’ crosses your lips you are doing theology.” Her book, “When Life and Beliefs Collide,” delves into the subject that what we know and believe about God is the basis for how we deal with tragedy in our lives. With so many people in the Chattanooga area facing the devastating aftershocks of the tornados, illness, job loss and economic hardship, the organization was moved to lead this much-needed and timely ministry for the community.
The event is a kick-off to a year-long campaign of book/Bible studies and discussion groups to address what people believe about God and how this affects them in the midst of the “whys?” in their lives. The organization is looking to partner with local churches and Bible teachers to lead small groups to study the book “When Life and Beliefs Collide.” To participate or register your church or study group on the “We All Ask Why” listing, contact romaine@scwn.org.
