'Encounter with God' topic at Lifetree
ELYSBURG - Former Ethiopian prime minister Tamrat Layne tells about his controversial "encounter with God" in an exclusive filmed interview at the Lifetree Cafe event from 7 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Elysburg Presbyterian Church, 320 W. Valley Ave.
After serving as prime minister, Layne was convicted of corruption charges and served 12 years in prison. During his incarceration, Layne claims he experienced a supernatural visit from God.
"This compelling story raises questions we'll consider at this program," said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. "Did God appear in an Ethiopian prison cell to Layne? Are such encounters real? If so, why doesn't God appear to anyone who asks him to do so?"
Admission to the 60-minute Lifetree Cafe event, where people gather for conversations about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting, is free.
Snacks and beverages are available.
