Allegiance to Empire

Includes 7 films

This series of films is to provide ways in which the Christian community can serve the world and at the same time be faithful to God’s vision of the Peaceable Kingdom. In this curriculum, we will look at the myth of the “Christian” nation and re-narrate what it means to live as residents in a foreign land.

The curriculum, written by Phuc Luu,  includes 7 sessions with an accompanying discussion guide.
