James Tabor on Religion for Life: Jesus and Paul
Sunday, December 13, we'll listen to Professor James Tabor speak about his book, "Paul and Jesus: How the Apostle Transformed Christianity." This comes from Tabor's interview with John Shuck on "Religion for Life," way back in 2013. Tabor's points are still fresh as he comments on the differences between the message of Jesus and the message of Paul. It's worth a listen. You can preview it here: click me.
Please join us. This is a good one.

The Very Reverend Alan Jones: Tha Amazing Journey
For December 7 we'll watch a video of Alan Jones speaking on science, religion and the quest for meaning. Preview here: click me. Shortly after the internet became available I discovered the online site for Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The Very Reverend Alan Jones was the Dean and his sermons were online, along with their version of our Adult Forum. This revolutionary advance in technology served as my introduction to progressive Christianity, and I was hooked. Hearing this current talk by Alan reminded me of the importance and the benefits of being a thinking church. Please join us.
