Saving Jesus Redux: The Wisdom Tradition

This coming Sunday we'll view and discuss Chapter 6 of "Saving Jesus Redux: The Wisdom Tradition."
From the promotional materials: "Jesus was a purveyor of wisdom. His stories, sayings, and teachings say it over and over again: It’s not about victory. It’s not about punishment. It’s not about rewards. It’s not about what you deserve or what you get. Looking on reality with compassion, love, inclusivity, forgiveness— recognizing everything as created by God, infinite in dignity, to be honored.
"Sadly, the God of many or most is not an unconditional lover. Jesus taught otherwise. The wisdom tradition is about learning what questions to ask, engaging the issues that deeply affect people, and being open to new possibilities. It’s a journey that you travel with trusted companions your whole life long. And as Jesus taught and lived, it’s about a surprising and transforming grace that humbles the powerful and empowers the humble."
Please join us as we explore this compelling and engaging film. We'll be delighted to see you. Loving childcare is provided.
