SAU sets aside one day every Spring semester for our community of learners to consider a current topic of interest to the contemporary world. The title of this year’s Focus series is, “The Future of Faith.” The main speaker for the series in author/speaker Brian McLaren. McLaren is the author of many books including, “A New Kind of Christian“, “A Generous Orthodoxy“, “Everything Must Change“, and most recently, “Finding Our Way Again.” Time magazine named McLaren one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in 2007.
