 Book-of-the-Month
Discussion Series "Reading Christians will be knowing Christians." -John Wesley The
Rev. Farris Book Study and Potluck meets on the 4th Sunday of each
month at 12 noon in the Fireside Room (unless otherwise noted).
All are invited for the potluck lunch and lively discussion. The
books are chosen because they are thought provoking, controversial,
and illuminating. Our goal is to grow our minds as we deepen our
faith.
No sign up is necessary. Just pick up the book, read it prior to the discussion, and come with questions. (In addition to the church library, the books are available in local bookstores, public libraries, and online.) The Book Study will return at the end of August. The schedule is as follows: August 24 - Jesus, Global Crises, and Revolution of Hope by Brian McLaren September 28 - Thumpin' It: The Use and Abuse of the Bible in Today's Presidential Politics by Jacques Berlinerblau October 26 - Western Muslims and the Future of Islam by Tariq Ramadan November 23 - The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus' Birth by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan January 25 - Quest for the Living God: Mapping Frontiers in the Theology of God by Elizabeth A.
