The 2024 Election may be over, but our country and churches remain strongly divided. CRCC\u2019s Compelling Preaching Initiative came together in Wednesday, November 20, 2024, to process the election, gain insights into the forces dividing Christianity, and learn ways to bridge those divides.<\/p>\n
