Living the Questions2 -- An Invitation

This summer we'll re-visit the Living the Questions2 video series, shown in the Adult Forum in 2009. The series is an excellent introduction to progressive Christianity. Exemplifying the spirit of the series, Jack Spong wrote:

"....I think certainty is a vice in religion. I really think that we ought to rid ourselves of it. So, I would constantly want to hold this wrestling, this uncomfortableness, I do not have it together, we are struggling in this together, as the proper image of the Christian faith. We walk into the mystery of God. We never arrive. And if we think we arrive we become an idolater.”

and from the series literature:

"Relying solely on doctrines and dogma passed on from others has seldom been a satisfying exercise for those longing for something deeper spiritually or thought-provoking theologically. To not ask questions is tantamount to forfeiting one’s own spiritual birthright and allowing other people’s experience of the divine to define your experience."

Please join us. You'll be warmly welcome.
