TWO NEW VIDEO-DISCUSSION SERIES TO BEGIN
Beginning Sunday, January 3, 2010 we begin a 6-part video-discussion series: QUESTIONS OF FAITH. Then during Lent, we’ll be using this 5-week DVD series: COUNTERING PHARAOH'S PRODUCTION-CONSUMPTION SOCIETY TODAY.
Here are brief descriptions of these two compelling video-series.
QUESTIONS OF FAITH
Throughout life, we find ourselves face to face with basic questions of belief and meaning. Sometimes we outgrow
our answers – we may even decide the questions don’t really matter any longer. But we seem to thirst for meaning,
and to find it, every generation must ask these questions anew in their times. This series presents a variety of 14
contemporary American Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish thinkers including Madeleine L’Engle, Will Campbell,
William Sloane Coffin, Harold Kushner, and Peggy Way. Each provocative montage of reflections helps us
struggle with one of these six faith questions:
Who Is God? What Good Is Prayer? What’s God Got to Do with Evil?What’s Being Good Good For? Who Needs Organized Religion? And What Matters Anyway?
