150 years ago, David Swing, pastor of Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, was tried for heresy by the Presbytery of Chicago. Many of the accusations against the beloved pastor still divide the Christians today.
Playwright and Fourth Church member Kat Evans shares Swing's story in her new play, Perseverance of the Saints.
The Great Collide is a production of the Greater Chicago Broadcast Ministries, a communications ministry of the Protestant, Orthodox, and Episcopal Churches of greater Chicago in cooperation with the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago.
