Are different ways of reading the Bible contributing to polarization in our society?

“Conflict about how to see and read the Bible is the single greatest issue dividing Christians in North America today.” Marcus Borg

How do you SEE and READ the Bible? What have you been taught about the Bible by your own religious tradition?

Is the Bible divine, or human? Both? Do you read the texts as the inspired by God, or as the literal Word of God?

As a jumping off point we will look at the story of Jesus walking on water found in Matthew 14:22-33.

Look forward to seeing you soon.  Friends always welcome!

Come join us for an important discussion led by Sodapop, L3 Intern.  How do you live your life while remaining conscious of your mental health?How do your personal beliefs help you remain healthy and happy? Are they effective?Does prayer, meditation, walking in nature, connecting with others improve your mental health?We hope you will join us!

At Power of Purpose we celebrate diversity and welcome participants from diverse Christian, Interfaith, Spiritual and Secular backgrounds.

Instead of Halloween, we are celebrating All Saints which is a Christian tradition that has been celebrated for centuries. All Saints focuses on the remembrance of past Christians and loved ones no longer with us and their lasting impact on our views of faith.

Time: 6:00  – 7:30 p.m.

Where: Memorial Chapel, Lounge and Garden Chapel

Come for worship, a fun discussion, pop corn and Halloween candy!

Learn about different Christian perspectives on Halloween and All Saints Day.

Hope to see you then!

Thank you.
