Study and discussion groups are diverse and eclectic. There
are always several offerings going, and we retool them regularly
to meet current needs. Among recent discussion groups:
- a women’s study of the book Amazing Grace, by
Kathleen Norris;
- a class on theology perspectives (including those of St
Augustine, Whitehead, and other process theologians and
philosophers),
- a study of the book of Psalms,
- Bible study for adult beginners, and
- a series on journey sharing by members of the congregation.
This year’s adult education schedule was designed in response to the congregational survey that was conducted in May. These results indicated a desire to focus on a number of areas including modern ethical question and ethics in everyday life; religion vs. spirituality; the ongoing church vs. state debate; issues and questions of meaning and value; and lastly, these offerings support our overall theme for the coming year: Simplicity. Our sessions end with Memorial Day. Stay tuned, however, for a list of our classes for the next program year! Roger Williams Class will continue after Labor Day.
