I went there expecting to see a decent and professionally neat show by the Devonport Choral Society and was pleasantly surprised to experience watching something much more than that. Visually the production was very

Fowler‚ Sweeney‚ and Kohlberg are three examples of faith movements. These movements describe the steps of development in our faith and moral code. When Jesus said‚ “the Kingdom of God is within you” he was making us aware of the relationship we have with God‚ ourselves‚ and other. Fowler broke down the development of faith into six stages.
