Our world is moving faster and faster, and people are getting busier and busier. The human family strains under the stress and falls prey to the fatigue of modern-day living. We cannot change this fact, but we can respond to it through insights given to us in the Christian faith. The following messages are developed to assist both clergy and laity in the quest to experience God in a busy world. Wisdom from the Bible and the Christian tradition will be drawn upon to shape the presentations for this series.
