Pastor Leslie and the Christian Education Committee invite you to a 6 week study titled Embracing Emergent Christianity, which will be meeting in January and February. Author, historian and keen cultural observer Phyllis Tickle invites us to join her in examining the changing face of Christianity and culture. Phyllis surveys 2000 years of Western history, identifying the great upheavals that occur in Western culture and Christianity every 500 years. The last was the Reformation of the 1500’s - the next is happening now. What are the implications of this “Great Emergence,” both culturally and spiritually? What are the key questions and issues that need to be addressed? Where might we be headed next? And, perhaps most importantly, where are you, at this moment? Might you be an emergence Christian? The evening study group will be meeting every Monday evening from 7:00 to 8:30 p. m. until Lent. The morning study group will be meeting every Tuesday morning from 9:45 to 11:15 a. m. until Lent - future plans to be announced.
