SUMMARY:Progressive Christianity Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:First Church’s Progressive Christians Reading Group invites new and former participants to participate this fall as the group resumes reading and discussion of selected books. \nThe first selection is Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend\, Teacher\, Savior\, Lord\, Way\, and Presence by Diana Butler Bass. This group gathers online Thursdays\, 1:00-2:15pm\, beginning Sept. 7. \nHow can you still be a Christian? This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches\, they cannot leave their faith behind.  \nIn Freeing Jesus Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static\, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend\, Teacher\, Savior\, Lord\, Way\, and Presence.  Freeing Jesus is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations\, to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most. \nEleanor Nicholson will facilitate the discussion. \nInterested? Email Bonnie Beckonchrist at bbeckonchrist@gmail.com  for the Zoom link. A copy of the book may be borrowed from the church office.

SUMMARY:Progressive Christianity Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Progressive Christianity Reading Group begins discussion of a new book.   New participants are always welcome to this online weekly gathering. \nJohn Dominic Crossan’s The Power of Parable: How Fiction By Jesus Became Fiction About Jesus is a provocative look at the Gospels. Crossan begins by observing that the parabolic stories told by Jesus seem remarkably similar to the resurrection stories about Jesus. Could Jesus’ use of parables have inspired the Gospel writers to create meaningful\, metaphorical stories about Jesus to help them explain who he really was? \nOne copy of each book is available in the church office. \nGroup meets online 1pm-2pm\, Thursdays Feb. 16\, 23\, March 2\, 9 and 16th. \nInterested?  Please contact Dennis Damon Moore at djmoore1941@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Progressive Christianity Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Progressive Christianity Reading Group continues online discussion of Unruly Saint: Dorothy Day’s Radical Vision and It’s Challenge for Our Times by D.L. Mayfield. New participants are always welcome. \nIn Unruly Saint: Dorothy Day’s Radical Vision and It’s Challenge for Our Times\, activist\, writer\, and neighbor Mayfield brings a personal lens to Day’s story. In exploring the founding of the Catholic Worker movement and newspaper\, revisiting the early years of Day’s life\, Mayfield turns her attention to what it means to be a good neighbor today. Through a combination of biography\, observations on the current American landscape\, and theological reflection\, this is at once an achingly relevant account and an encouraging blueprint for people of faith in tumultuous times. \nInterested? Please contact Dennis Moore at djmoore1941@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Progressive Christianity Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The Progressive Christianity Reading Group continues online discussion of Unruly Saint: Dorothy Day’s Radical Vision and It’s Challenge for Our Times by D.L. Mayfield. New participants are always welcome. \nIn Unruly Saint: Dorothy Day’s Radical Vision and It’s Challenge for Our Times\, activist\, writer\, and neighbor Mayfield brings a personal lens to Day’s story. In exploring the founding of the Catholic Worker movement and newspaper\, revisiting the early years of Day’s life\, Mayfield turns her attention to what it means to be a good neighbor today. Through a combination of biography\, observations on the current American landscape\, and theological reflection\, this is at once an achingly relevant account and an encouraging blueprint for people of faith in tumultuous times. \nInterested? Please contact Dennis Moore at djmoore1941@gmail.com.
