The Church, the Sword, and the Struggle for Truth

Teacher: Pastor Kurt Thielen

This seminar explores the complex history of the Crusades, where faith, politics, and power became deeply intertwined. Together, we’ll examine how the Church navigated a turbulent era marked by both sincere devotion and profound brokenness. Rather than avoiding the hard issues, we’ll face them honestly, seeking to understand what went wrong and why. Along the way, we’ll reflect on what this history can teach us about humility, faithfulness, and following Christ in our own time.
