In fact, the Barna Group released a report show- ing that concerns over reli- gious freedom in America have grown significantly. From overt concerns over the right to worship, to people upset about coffee cups they felt didn’t represent the Christmas holiday, the con- versation has often been heat- ed. Beginning Thursday, April 28, the Florence Seventh- Day Adventist Church will explore this fascinating sub- ject as revealed through the Bible, in addition to a source that illustrates the topic per- fectly: the life of the Emperor Constantine. Shadow Empire begins at 6 p.m. in the Florence Seventh- day Adventist Church, 4445 Highway 101 in Florence. It will continue Friday, April 29, at 6 p.m., and Saturday, April 30, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is a free event. Shadow Empire is a series hosted by Voice of Prophecy speaker and director Shawn Boonstra, and will take a documentary-style, Bible-based approach to this topic. Boonstra recently traveled to countries such as Serbia, Italy and Turkey to make his- Project Services: • Consulating • Managing • Completing • Evaluating • Stai ng All Services are Mobile, We Come to You!

Boonstra was even granted rare access to a major archeo- logical dig site, on the loca- tion believed to be one of Constantine’s homes. It’s the story of an unlikely emperor born out of wedlock and into poverty, who rose to power against staggering odds and whose legacy has endured for centuries. The story of the costs and sacrifices made in the name of religious freedom will approach his life story from a new angle. “This series will be an hon- est examination of the church and prophetic history that will answer many questions peo- ple have today,” said Boonstra. “By simply taking a fascinating trip into the past, the world we live in now will suddenly make a lot more sense.” This series will address questions such as: Was the marriage of Constantine’s government and Christianity a good thing for Christians? Why did the early Christians have so much trou- ble fitting in? Did Bible prophecy really predict that the government would persecute the church? Was it a good idea for the Roman emperor to step in and try to solve the internal dis- putes within the church? If Christians really are Jesus’ followers, then why do they still have disputes? All are welcome to attend this free event, and all atten- dees will receive a copy of Boonstra’s new book, “Shadow Emperor.” The Florence Seventh-day Adventist Church is thrilled to be hosting this series. “Shadow Empire” will involve both documentary- style and live elements, fea- turing local moderator Pastor Andy Wittenburg. “During Shadow Empire, you will learn how Constantine’s impact contin- ues to echo through the lives of every person on earth today,” said Boonstra. “I hope you will join us for this intriguing study.” Topics will include: “The Rise of the Early Church,” “The Persecution of the Church,” “A Marriage of Church and State” and “Constantine’s Christianity.” For more information, visit www.shadowempire.com.
