How do we live faithfully as Christians in what is often now termed a “post-Christian” culture? That’s a challenge many theologians are addressing, and many Hope Church folks have expressed an interest in engaging.
An important aspect of this challenge is how Christians can interact with other religions. A number of recent initiatives in our community, of which Hope Church has been a part, have taken an appreciative approach to such interaction, seeking places of resonance and understanding. Theologian Barbara Brown Taylor delves into this appreciative approach in her new book, Holy Envy. The subtitle of the book, Finding God in the Faith of Others, points to her conviction that faithful people of diverse religions can bless one another through their faith content and practice. Coming from the viewpoint of the Christian faith, Taylor will help us to explore together how God can enrich us through the light found in other faiths.
Join in this event on Wednesday evenings, October 9, 16, 23, and 30, from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m. We’ll share a dinner before our discussion.
