Conversations on Faith and Life
8:45 am to 9:45 Mill Creek Room
8:45 am to 9:45 Mill Creek Room
July 10: Isn't the Bible a Myth? Hasn't science disproved Christianity?
July 17: How can you say there is one way to God? What about other religions?
July 24: What gives you the right to tell me how to live my life? Why are there so many rules?
August 7: Why does God allow suffering? Why is there so much evil in the world?
August 14: Why is the Church responsible for so much injustice? Why are Christians such hypocrites?
August 21: How can God be full of love and wrath at the same time? How can God send good people to hell?
Each session will begin with a 20-minute video in which Tim Keller (a Presbyterian pastor in New York City and author of Prodigal God) interacts live and unscripted with folks he has just met as they share their beliefs and their thoughts about the above objections to Christianity. Following the video we will continue to discuss together that week's objection. Our goal is not to arm ourselves with arguments and answers to counter these objections but to learn how to engage others in conversations about life and faith with sensitivity, gentleness, humility, and respect, whether in the context of a friendship or a group setting. Each week is a separate unit so feel free to join us when you are not on vacation as we learn together about our faith and the ways we and other people think about it. Child care is available but please call the office by Tuesday of the weeks you will need it.
