SPECIAL SESSION - Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010: Walking to the Cross with Jesus: Images of Holy Week
WHEN: Wednesdays, January 20 - March 17, 2010 Using Matthew's Gospel as a starting point, this study explores how the New Testament writers and the early Christian community wrestled with the coming of Jesus--his life, actions, mission, death, and resurrection--and the implications of his arrival for their lives and their communities of faith. Moving through the Gospel of Matthew sequentially, the overarching themes from this story of Jesus provide the conversation topics for each of the eight sessions. Each theme is then traced through other related passages in the New Testament. Who is Jesus and what is his significance for our lives? Participants are invited to join this conversation, to study afresh this story of Jesus, and to learn more about their calling to discipleship and to community. Study Contents:

ADULT EDUCATION AUDIO ARCHIVE: Reinhold Niebuhr: American Power in Theological Perspective, led by Bruce Douglass (click on link below for audio MP3). Reinhold Niebuhr, a pastor-theologian who spent most of his career teaching at Union Theological Seminary in New York, is arguably the most influential "public" theologian American Protestantism has ever produced. Figures as diverse as George Kennan, Arthur Schlesinger and Martin Luther King, Jr. have claimed him as an influence on their thinking, and that continues today, with even Barack Obama claiming to have learned from Niebuhr's writings. This course is designed as a introduction to Niebuhr's thought through a review of some of his better-known works. Two audio files are provided from the 5-part series running from February 7th through March 7th.
