New Class
LIVING WITH QUESTIONS
Experiencing the Bible Again for the First Time
This curriculum for adults, designed for group use is experiential in methodology, valuing the wisdom of each person and the integrity of their experience of the Sacred. This program has grown out of a hunger to know and engage the Bible at deeper levels as evidenced by the popularity of Marcus Borg’s original work, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time: Taking the Bible Seriously, but not Literally.
The classes will meet on Monday nights from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM starting Monday, November 4, 2013. Paul Jackson will be teaching this class as part of his program of study for Lay Ministry through
the NACCC.
OUTREACH
