January 8-10 The Rev. Dr. Richard Topping - Theology for Non-Theologians
In the long conversation that is the Christian tradition similar topics keep coming up - creation, God, Christ, Spirit, Church and hope are among the most important. We will join this exchange over a couple of days to listen to what has been said on these themes and to join the discussion. Finally we will draw on what we learn to address some of the challenges of our time.
January 15-17 Professor Harry Maier Reading the New Testament as Though Your Life Depended On It
The course will explore the New Testament claims on our lives under three headings: the Kingdom of God, the cross and resurrection, and a life that abides in God. In each case we will explore the claim being made upon us as God's people and how God invites us to fullness of life.
January 22-24 The Rev. Dr. Pat Dutcher-Walls - New Eyes for Reading the Old Testament
This introductory workshop will help participants understand the insights and beauty found in the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament. Background information and resources will allow a hands-on learning experience using a variety of Hebrew Bible passages so that we can hear the many ways God's people have witnessed about God and our human relation to God.
January 29-31 The Rev. Janet Gear - How then shall we live?
Asking this question inevitably pulls us into the heart of Christianity the living of it. Is Christian life about prayer and contemplation or about acts of justice and right relations? Wisdom teaches that these paths are not two, but one. We'll explore the teaching and practice of this path, discovering that spiritual work is the work of awakening to what our life has been teaching us all along that our home is in God, that we belong to one another, and that fullness of life is as much about letting go as it is about taking part. In addition to the presentations this weekend, prepare to spend time in reflection, journaling, and discussion.
