Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 09:04 AM
ADULT FORUM: Phyllis Tickle invites us to join her in “examining the changing face of Christianity and culture.

Phyllis surveys two thousand years of Western history, identifying the great upheavals that occur in Western culture and Christianity every 500 years. The last was the Great Reformation of the 1500’s; the next is happening now.”

Starts Sunday, November 27th at 9 a.m in the South Room.



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 Great 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?

There are six sessions on the DVD. Each session begins with a video presentation by Phyllis Tickle, lasting from 10-15 minutes. Ms. Tickle’s presentation is followed by filmed interaction with a small group. The Participant Workbook then helps your small group “join the dialogue” in your own setting.

THE SIX SESSIONS:

  • Session 1: Emergence 101
  • Session 2: Where Now is the Authority?
  • Session 3: The 20th Century and Emergence
  • Session 4: Gifts from Other Times
  • Session 5: How Then Shall We Live?
  • Session 6: Hallmarks of Emergence

A Gentle Reminder

A gentle reminder that 2nd Sundays each month the un-designated offering collected at the three services are set aside for the Discretionary Fund. Those offerings are used mainly to help people in need, in or out of the parish, who come to our doors seeking some assistance.

Your contributions to this Fund are always welcome and are a vital part of the ongoing outreach of the parish to the community. Thank you on behalf of those whom your gifts will help.
