Rollins is currently visiting churches and universities across the U.S. to share his thoughts about an emerging, organic movement within the Christian faith. These “pockets of resistance,” as he calls them, are unafraid to buck tradition and proclaim the death of God, church and religion as we typically know them in preparation for their “resurrection” in a radically different form.

Rollins will hold a public lecture at Baptist Theological Seminary, 3400 Brook Road, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21. A reception and book signing will follow the lecture. At 10 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 22, Rollins will address the Adult Forum class in the chapel of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 240 South Laurel Street in Oregon Hill (at the corner of Idlewood Avenue). He also will deliver the sermon at the church’s 11 a.m. service before resuming his American tour.
