Common Conversation: Faith in Nashville 
Thursday, August 17th at Glendale Baptist Church 

Listen to Danny Bryant, Anna Caudill, and David Dark discuss the challenges & promises of Christianity in Nashville. In a city where celebrity, profits, politics, and faith are so deeply enmeshed, how do we create and sustain beloved community?
