Fall Religious Education Series
All meetings will be held on Wednesday evening from 7:30-9pm, unless otherwise noted. These opportunities to be spiritual nurtured are for YOU! Here's what we have coming up:
Sept. 10 - Workshop about spiritual accountability, led by Amy and Trevor. This will be the kick-off for a small-group experience that will happen over 6 subsequent weeks. Please see Amy's email (titled "Spiritual Acountability in Peer Groups, JOIN US!") for a full description of the experience/workshop.
Quakers are often challenged when people ask us what we believe. Are we Christians? Some Friends would say yes, some no, and many would hesitate—it depends what you mean by “Christian.” Doug Gwyn explores the different stances Quakers have assumed in relation to Christianity, from the unique “primitive Christianity revived” of early Friends, through the foundationist, Conservative, ecumenical, interfaith, universalist, and nontheist positions of different Quakers today. Each of these perspectives makes a contribution to the larger Quaker community, but Gwyn also offers queries testing the limits of each and inviting readers to consider how we are “present-day pioneers in a stream of radical hospitality.”
Nov. 12 - "Beyond Special; Coming Home to our True Selves" with Elliott. What did the woman at the well and the prodigal son both have in common?
Maybe it was coming home to their True selves. Leaving behind old beliefs of separation, a small god, being stuck, miserable and/or bitter and coming
to the place within their hearts where the face of God can be glimpsed in awe and wonder.
You are invited to spend 90 minutes exploring and experiencing your journey to your true home where you are always welcomed.
Nov. 26 - No program (Thanksgiving Eve)
