Get ready for a wonderfully informative fall! Starting September 15th, we have scheduled a rich, and varied, diet for your spiritual hunger! With the exception of Bible 101, the Faith Forums run from 9:00 - 9:45. The locations will be announced in the bulletin and/or E-Newsletter.
Bible 101 (taught by the Rev. Merrie Need) This will be an on-going class throughout the fall.
· Watch slides and listen to Bible stories in chronological order, perhaps for the first time.
· Grow an appreciation for our God through the lenses of other generations, dating back as far as 5,000 years.
· Relax, ponder, and question while learning who the heroines and heroes of our faith were.
· We will meet from 9 to 9:35 Sunday mornings. Drop in anytime.
Opening the door on the Nicene Creed (taught by Fr. Gary) September 15 - October 13
We recite the Nicene Creed (almost) every Sunday; it is the confession of our common faith. But how did it get into the form we currently use? Why are various “bits’ of it important? We will look at the development of the Creed and “wonder” about its amazing history!
Downsizing and Relocating—Encore performance! (taught by Anne McMahon) October 20
Parishioner Anne McMahon will present an informational overview of downsizing -- what to do with, how to determine, and how to let go -- all those memories! If the clutter has finally gotten to you, or if you need to move, come and bring your questions.
Icons: History, Tradition and Theology (taught by the Rev. Xavier Rodriguez) October 27 - November 24
This class provides an introduction to icons and their function in liturgical and private worship in the Christian tradition. Beginning with the use of images in the early church, the class will proceed with the evolution of their theological meaning and the controversies which followed in the eight century leading up to modern times. Specific icons will be discussed and viewing of originals will be presented. The use of religious images in New Mexico catholic tradition will be covered as an example of western devotion. Praying with icons will finish the course with class participation in the spiritual exercise of icon veneration.
For Whom are we Preparing? (taught by Fr. Gary) December 1, 15, & 22
Prof. Marcus Borg and Bp. N.T. Wright represent two different scholarly positions within the Episcopal/Anglican tradition but were (until Borg’s death) good friends. Together they wrote the book The Meaning of Jesus. That book will provide the backdrop for an Advent series on Jesus: who’s birth really are we awaiting!
