Opportunities in Adult Education
Is the Bible Always Right?
This question will be the focus of a new six week
Adult Education class beginning at 8:45 on Sunda
y, January 8 and running through February 12.
The class will be led by Rev. Howard Velzy using the study book by Donald Kraus, Executive Editor for Bibles at Oxford University Press. Contemporary Christians often pick and choose among the Bible's moral ruling, taking some as absolutes but ignoring others they find unacceptable. Are there areas where we can ignore what the Bible says? Is the Bible actually wrong about some things? Are we free to argue that we understand things better than the Biblical writer did? Or must we accept what the Bible tells us, no matter how difficult it might be to put into practice?
With this in mind, Kraus explores Biblical questions of vengeance, enemies, the death penalty, social marginalization, economics, social justice, sexual behavior, and authority.
Pathfinders
The Pathfinders multi-generational class meets Sunday morning in the Carillon Room in the east end of the education wing at 8:45 am. The class is currently studying the gospel of Mark. Everyone is welcome to participate!
