School of Christian Growth, January, 2025

Taking On (White) Christian Nationalism” and “Have it Your Way – Decisions about Your Death” are the topics of two short courses offered in the School for Christian growth this January.

Below are the descriptions of them and if you wish to register, please send an email to John Morris at morris.jr@comcast.net.  

Taking On (White) Christian Nationalism
Leader:  Paul Holmes
Tuesdays: Jan. 7, 14, 21 – In Person

“Jesus said the Gospel is about good news to the poor, healing to the brokenhearted, welcoming all people, caring for the least of these: the immigrant, the hungry, the sick, the imprisoned. Christian nationalism attempts to sanctify oppression and not liberation. It attempts to sanctify lies and not truth.” Rev. William J. Barber II, CNN, January 21, 2023

Learning from faith leaders, biblical contexts, media and each other, we will begin to explore what White Christian Nationalism is, what it could mean for our world and to our faith; and how we might respond as individuals and as the Seekers Church community.

We will meet in person beginning with a bring-your-own dinner together at 6:30 and class at 7:00 to 8:30 pm.

Have it Your Way – Decisions about Your Death
Leader: Cynthia Dahlin
Tuesdays: Jan. 7, 14, 21, 28 – On Zoom

Have you completed and circulated your Five Wishes document?  If you have, that’s great, and you may still have questions about preparing for your death. You might also need to consider some of the decisions involved that this class will allow you to discuss while exploring the meaning of your choices. We’ll have short readings and use a workbook, contained in the book I’ll Have It My Way: Taking Control of End of Life Decisions: a Book about Freedom & Peace by Hattie Bryant.  You will be asked to read chapter 1 and complete workbook pages 184-191 before the first class. The book is out of print but some copies will be available for class members at Seekers Church from Cynthia Dahlin, or can be purchased now on Amazon or a used copy on Thriftbooks.
