The Big Questions: How do we understand At-one-ment?
In this conversation, Deidre Green and Terryl Givens examine the concept of at-one-ment—its scriptural roots, theological implications, and personal relevance. Drawing on years of study and reflection, they invite us to see the Atonement not only as doctrine, but as a lived experience of divine unity.
We invite you to participate, either in person or virtually, as we discuss some of the most fascinating theological and historical questions that will come up during this year’s study of the Doctrine and Covenants. We hope you find these conversations enriching and supportive as you walk the journey of faith.
In-person attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of these remarkable speakers. It’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
Friends of Faith Matters will get automatic access to the livestream and subsequent recordings for free. Click here to become a Friend of Faith Matters.
