Chris Sikkema is the host as the church presents a series, Traveling the Way of Love, through Episcopal Cinema.
The series premieres at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Jan. 31 on the church’s Facebook page and its website, and will be available on demand.
Sikkema, manager for special projects in the church’s Office of Communication, is a graduate of Hope College and completed a master’s degree in the history of religion from Vanderbilt University’s Divinity School.
“The thing that I find most life-giving and wonderful is going around and listening to and telling the stories of this church,” he said. “Over the next few months, we’re going to go around and start looking at the way of love, practices for Jesus-centered life. We’ll go and see how people turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, and rest.”
More episodes are set for March, May, July, September, October, and November.
