ADVENT STUDY WITH REV. GAIL CLIFTON:

In Advent I would like to do a Living the Questions study entitled The Jesus Fatwah: Love your (Muslim) Neighbour as Yourself.

I also have another Living the Questions Study that I would like to do, Violence Divine: Overcoming the Bible’s Betrayal of its Non-Violent God. This study is led by John Dominic Crossan. The study is a summary of his book listed above and we could use the book as well. This would be a longer and a bit more difficult study than the Advent one.

Please contact me if you are interested in either of these studies. Phone: 468-9865 or email.
