SUMMARY:The Christian Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Sundays at 9:15am in Glenna Hall Sundays\, first floor. Begins Sept. 14.\nThe Christian Experiment is a weekly gathering that creates community and explores faith-based questions.

This same study also found that 44 percent believed their doubts helped them find or strengthen their faith.\nFacilitators:   Matt Rader (mrader@emich.edu) and Kristi Hubbard (hubbard.kristi@gmail.com) \nRealm Registration Event.

Britt Cox and shared weekly facilitation with group participants  \nMany of us carry invisible wounds from faith communities that once promised love\, belonging\, or truth—but instead delivered shame\, fear\, or harm.

All are welcome\, especially those carrying questions or wounds from past faith experiences. \nClass will be capped at 15 people and we ask that folks register ahead of time here on realm. Purchase the book and read through chapter 1 prior to the first class.  \nRegister here at the Realm Registration Event.
