Believe it or not it is not too soon to be thinking about our Christian Education offerings for the coming school year. The academic year will start with a five week discussion of "The Shack". The first session will be Sept. 17. This popular volume has a great deal to say about how we see the Trinity, suffering, and redemption.
"The Shack" will be followed by a six week exploration of the book titled "Listening to the Heartbeat of God." As we discuss this volume we will be introduced to several of the central tenets of Celtic Christianity. This introduction will go a long way toward explaining the unique nature of
Anglican theology, and how our church sees the world.
In January we will pick our study up again with the volume "The Lost History of Christianity". This book explores the 1,000 year flowering of Christianity in the Middle East and Asia, and its death around the year 1,000 AD. We will be introduced to the little told story of ancient Christianity in Iraq, Iran, Mongolia, and China.
Our monthly Wednesday evening group will meet each second Wednesday of the month at 7:00PM in the Undercroft. The first session will be September 9th. This year we will explore "Engaging the Word". The book is a volume in the "Episcopal Churhes Teaching Series". As we read and discuss we will be introduced to a way of reading and understanding scripture. Theses tools will help those who want to spend more time with their Bible and come away with more from their reading.
Everyone is asked to order their own copies of these books from their favorite book seller. Please go to our parish website; navigate to Ministries, Christian Education, Adult Education, St. Peter's Adult education Calendar for more information on these books and a copy of this schedule.
