We also occasionally offer adult education in the form of reading and discussion groups during the week or in the evenings.   Groups in the past have looked at such topics and issues as the environment, Islam, Gnostic Christianity, the DaVinci Code and the Gospel of Mary, world religions, etc.  We have read and discussed The Gospel oF Judas (Elaine Pagels, Karen King) When Religion Becomes Evil (by Charles Kimball), Beyond Belief (by Elaine Pagels), When Jesus Came to Harvard: Making Moral Choices by Harvey Cox, This We Most Certainly Believe: Thoughts on Moravian Theology (by C. Daniel Crews), and Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson.   We have also had lay members lead clases on women's spirituality, listening skills for everyday life, and faith and global poverty.

Contact Pastor Carol Reifinger or Pastor Janel Rice for more information on any of these offerings or with a suggestion of your own.
