Responding to "Transcending Religion"

Last week we heard the Chautauqua sermon by Bishop Spong. Here's the link if you want a refresher (click here).
In his sermon, Spong marks some strong challenges. He shows us that science and modern understanding of the world conflict with historical, sometimes architypal views of the nature of God, the soul and eternal life. He tells us that, knowing what we now know is true, we can't go back to the old beliefs. We have to go forward.

But the old beliefs filled voids, and gave humanity succor, comfort and confidence. So....what do we go forward with?

Let's talk about it this coming Sunday.

Please join us. We'll be delighted to see you at 9:45. As ever, the very best in childcare is provided.
