I am excited to share that we will have a new forum with John Cromartie on Sundays, January 7, 14, and 21 during the 9:30 AM class time, in the Parish Hall.
The class is titled “The Spirituality of Beginnings” and will focus on core theological questions: how do we understand the biblical roots of violence? How can we reclaim a focus on the incarnation in our lives? How can we understand the call to human flourishing? John will draw on insights from the Gospel of John, the Prophet Isaiah and theologians who speak eloquently to these core questions we face in our lives today. We hope this class invites a balanced, theological, biblical, and poetic pathway for new beginnings and flourishing at the beginning of the year.
