The lecture will take place at 7 p.m. April 9 in the Zurcher Auditorium of the Merillat Centre for the Arts. The lecture will analyze many topics covered in Bergler's book.
"Many Americans are not sure they want to grow up. Many Christians are not sure that spiritual maturity is either attainable or desirable," he said. "Congregation members and their leaders can work together with God's help to create a powerful congruence of teaching, modeling and ministry structures that foster an attractive spiritual maturity."
