Rev'd Up for Sunday

This week, Jesus encounters a man possessed by many demons...and the demons recognize him! Peter Walsh and Elizabeth Garnsey examine how this story represents a classic scapegoat story, how we react to our own demons being revealed,  and how we can understand demons in today's cultural context.

This week, for Trinity Sunday, we're exploring how the Trinity is more than a doctrine.
