Adult Christian Education
|
|

|
A six week Adult Education class starting on September 15,
2009 from 7:00-8:15 p.m.
A few days before she was assassinated, Benazir Bhutto completed
her book, Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy and the West (New York:
HarperCollins, 2008). The book is a magnificent testimony to the belief
in human dignity and freedom: written by one of the most courageous women
of our times. Moreover, the work aptly demonstrates how the Christian
concept of reconciliation has become appropriated in public discourse
throughout the world.
During the next six weeks, we will reflect on how the Christian doctrine
of reconciliation is both a call to experience God's saving work in Christ
(e.g. II Corinthians 5: 11-21); and a commitment to practive love and
justice in the world (e.g. Micah 6:8).
Furthermore, we will wrestle with some of the key aspects of South Africa's
Thruth and Reconciliation Commision. During the six weeks we will watch
Bill Moyer's documentary (and study guide) on the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission. Finally, we will consider why the Belhar Confession
became such an important Christina document in the South African liberation
struggle.

Beginning Sunday, September 13th, 2009.
Pastor Jones will teach a Bible Study based on the morning's
Liturgical readings. The class will run approximately 25 minutes, and
serve to deepen our understanding of the morning's scriptures. Beginning
September 6th, we will publish the following Sunday's scriptures, so that
everyone participating in the Bible Study has a chance to read and think
about the Word. Please plan to join Pastor Jones for this learing and
growth opportunity.
