Becoming Church: A Bible Study of the New Testament
Leader: Marjory Bankson
When: Tuesdays Oct. 21-Nov. 25 at 7-8:30pm
Where: On Zoom
This six-week zoom class is a survey of the New Testament in chronological order (meaning we start with Paul and not the Gospels). Our focus will be on how the understanding of church developed in the first and second centuries and do some comparing with our current experience of being church together. You can expect good content and community-building during class and reading assignments each week.
CHRIST IN THE RUBBLE: A Book Study
Leader: Paul Holmes
When: Tuesdays Oct. 21, 28, Nov 4 & 11 at 7-8:30pm, Bring your own dinner at 6:15pm.
Where: In Person at Seekers Church
“Christ in the Rubble” is written by the Palestinian pastor of Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem and is about faith, the Bible, and the violence in Gaza. It presents a historical, political and theological challenge to the dominant Western Christian theologies and perspectives about Israel, the land and the Palestinian people. Isaac uses terms like genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Isaac challenges the Church—particularly in the West—to speak out against the genocide in Gaza and to stand in solidarity with all Palestinians. This will be a difficult class, and essential on so many fronts. Seekers provides a respectful space for honest reflection and thoughtful action regarding the horrors in Palestine – from a Christian perspective.
