to READ & DISCUSS Call to Commitment by Elizabeth O’Connor
Leaders: Marta Brenden (newcomer with questions) & Fern Edwards (who experienced those days)
This book put Church of the Savior on the map in 1963. As an ecumenical church, open to all in a segregated city, the book describes a level of commitment that felt to some like a monastic order. Others saw it as radical and exclusive — but Call to Commitment brought inquiries from many people and several seminaries. We invite you to explore these and other questions with us:
· What did the “call to commitment” mean to early Church of the Saviour members?
· Why was the School for Christian Living so important?
· How did mission groups emerge?
Copies of the book, new and used, will be available at Seekers beginning June 29
