Saving Jesus Redux: Sunday Evening Fellowship/Study

 

Do you ever feel like Jesus has been kidnapped by the Christian Right and discarded by the Secular Left?

Saving Jesus Redux is a revision of Living the Question’s DVD-based small group exploration of a credible Jesus for the third millennium. New contributors Brian McLaren, Diana Butler Bass, and Robin Meyers join Marcus Borg, Walter Brueggemann, John Dominic Crossan, Matthew Fox, Amy-Jill Levine, and a host of others for a conversation around the relevance of Jesus for today.

Facilitated by Doug Long, the series will fall on six consecutive Sunday evenings, beginning February 12 and ending March 18. Topics include, among others: Jesus Through the Ages, What Can We Know About Jesus (and How)?, The World into which Jesus was Born, The Atonement, and The Resurrection. 6 p.m. Potluck with 30-minute video beginning at 6:30. Discussion follows. Done by 8:00 p.m. Come to eat or not, come to one or all. Direct questions to doug@upucc.org.

 

 Beginning February 28 join us for a discussion course from Northwest Earth Institute that will examine the question of food: how it impacts our health, the environment, political choices and the food justice decisions we make as individuals and communities. The class will run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. for six consecutive Tuesdays—February 28 through April 3. The class will be a pretty comprehensive course, but will have about the same amount of reading as the Voluntary Simplicity class we offered last fall.

There will be information sheets at the back of the worship area, along with sign-up sheets. The deadline for registration will be Sunday, February 12 because we want to order and distribute books before the course begins. The book will cost $25.00, which is due when you register. Scholarships are available. Facilitators: Ted Frazer, Joanne Kennedy Frazer, Todd Smith and Sally Bean. Direct questions to jkennedyfrazer@aol.com or sbean1@gmail.com.
