Embracing an Adult Faith

From September 12 to October 31, 2010, we studied the works of Marcus J Borg.  Borg is Canon Theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral  in Portland, Oregon, having retired from Oregon State University in 2007.  He is the author of 19 books and is one of the leading theologians of our time.

The study is a DVD and guide around 5 essential Christian subjects -  God, Jesus, Salvation, Practice and Community.   In each of the 5 sessions, Borg speaks alone for 10 minutes followed by 12 minutes of thoughtful discussion by Borg and a small group.   We devoted one or two Sundays to each session to allow time for ample discussion and reflection on what we have seen. We will also look at an alternative viewpoint through the writings of  N. Thomas Wright.  On October 31, we studied Christian community through Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
