6:30 p.m. - Looking at the Radical Jesus
After a simple supper at 6:30, we will discuss some of Jesus’ sayings, share what we think his words could
mean for us today, and, perhaps, find courage to live more radical lives. The five themes for the sessions are
The Sermon on the Mount, Upsetting the Hierarchy, Jesus' Relationship with Women, The Androgynous Jesus, and Summary and Conclusions.
Presenter Pat Spoor has a 30-year teaching career. She was a lay pastor and
educator at St. Timothy's Church in Fairfield from 1994-2000 and for the past several years has been a popular Facilitator
of Lifetime Learners Institute courses.
Sundays
February 28 - March 14
Noon - A People's
History of Christianity
The tale of Western Christianity's
triumphal spread has largely failed to speak to contemporary Christians' longing for spiritual inspiration, the stories that
strengthen our connection with God and with our neighbors. There is an almost forgotten story of folks like us who struggled
to live as Jesus told them to, loving God and doing what is right. It is a story of a Christianity that transforms the
world, seeding the human community with grace.
