CHRISTIAN BELIEVER
is produced by DISCIPLE but has no prerequisite to attend. This study recognizes that many Christians say the creeds without understanding everything, or even assenting to everything in them, and recognizes that “faith seeking understanding” is a part of Christian experience. There is space for questions, doubts, and dissent.
Historical voices are heard in selections from the writings of early and later church leaders and in documents arising out of church councils that dealt with questions, conflicts, and controversies about what constituted Christian teaching. Participants in CHRISTIAN BELIEVER will gain a sense that Christians before us have wrestled with some of the same issues of belief that Christians wrestle with today.
Based on the model of Jesus and the 12 disciples, the small groups with one or more co-leaders follow a time-tested schedule of daily personal reading and prayer, along with a weekly class that includes a video segment presented by popular Bible scholars.
CHRISTIAN BELIEVER will be offered this fall
6:30 p.m., Wednesdays for 30 weeks beginning August 26, 2009
Course Leader: Rev. Dana Norton
