Spring Term – 2016 Session 2

7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

  • Ecological Spirituality: Thomas Berry and His Call for New Religious Attitudes to Heal Our Relationship with the Earth – Led by David Novello

  • Exploring the Psalms – Led by Margreta Silverstone

  • Learning to Think and Feel Theologically – Led by Pat Conover

The Psalms is a book that has the most imagery, the most passion, and the most sayings that have entered popular culture.  Yet, our culture cherry picks what to remember from the Psalms and not the full range of text. In this six-week class, we will explore the Psalms and their relevance to our life today.  We will explore the imagery and passion of the Psalms, whether as poetry or as music. We will seek to understand the desires of the authors, and to find modern parallels. We will work to appreciate the courage and spiritual wisdom of the ancient writers even as we determine to acknowledge their expressions of hatred, fear, and grief.  Using a variety of formats, both written and not, we will begin developing our own Psalms.  This class will partly fulfill the Old Testament requirements for becoming a Steward of Seekers Church.
