Shroud of Turin: Fact or Fiction?
Tuesday, April 10th
6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Hear both sides of the controversy in a dynamic and comprehensive presentation and decide for yourself! We will examine dozens of photos and explore the story of the Shroud from all sides. Our own Gary Diehl, long-time student of the Shroud, will lead us through the mystery.
Speaking Christian
Wednesdays, April 11th, 18th, and 25th
6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Salvation. Sacrifice. Heaven. What do these words mean? Do you avoid using words like these in public because you fear they’ve been hijacked by fundamentalist understandings of Christianity and that you will be misunderstood? Do you wonder what it means to say the Bible is “the Word of God”? Marcus Borg, one of this generation’s most thoughtful and prolific Christian writers, has tackled the language of the Christian faith in his new book, Speaking Christian. The popular and engaging Ralph Rash will lead discussion about this important and potentially liberating work.
