LIVING THE QUESTIONS 2.0
|
People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to
offer the human race. At the same time, many have a sense that they are
alone in being a "thinking" Christian and that "salvaging" Christianity
is a hopeless task. What is needed is a safe environment where people
have permission to ask the questions they've always wanted to ask but
have been afraid to voice for fear of being thought a heretic.
Living
the Questions is a 4-week DVD and web-based small group study
exploring beyond the traditions and rote theologies in which so many
people and local churches seem to be stuck. Ideal for Christian
invitation, initiation and spiritual formation, Living the Questions
will help seekers and "church alumni/ae" alike in discovering the
significance of Christianity in the 21st Century and what a meaningful
faith can look like in today's world.
THEMES
1. An
Invitation to Journey
2. Taking
the Bible Seriously
3. Thinking
Theologically
4. Stories
of Creation |
|
The format of each session includes a video, guided discussion, spiritual exercises and Bible study. The 20 minute videos for each session include conversation, sermon clips, lecture excerpts, and spiritual exercises for practical applications (including different forms of prayer and meditation, movement, walking the labyrinth, etc). Since the overall theme is that of faith as a journey, not a destination, the livingthequestions.com web site will offer resources for continued exploration, including downloadable expanded study guides, extra video resources, and links.

One Great Sunday Of Sharing
Mark your calendars now and plan on having lunch with the friendly
flock of St. Leonard's. Everyone is invited to bring food to share -
either a sweet or savoury dish. Tell us what you would like to bring,
or we can make a suggestion of the food items needed. (There will be a
sign-up sheet circulated before the event.) That day a combined service
will be held at l0am. Afterwards, we will sit down to lunch in the hall
where we'll share the food we bring. A suggested donation of $10 per
person or a maximum of $30 a family will be collected in hopes of
improving our dated kitchen facilities. It is time to think of others
and share with fellow birds of a feather. See flier for more
information.
