Ecumenical Discussion: Remedial Christianity

Wednesday, 18 July 2007
6:30 PM - 12:00 AM

Rev. Sue Davis announces a new summer series - following the ecumenical discussions of the past three years that have been lively and meaningful to many of us. The basis is a book she highly recommends: "Remedial Christianity — What Every Believer Should Know about the Faith, but Probably Doesn't" by Rev. Dr. Paul Laughlin. Laughlin is an ordained minister, professor and chair of the department of religion and philosophy at Otterbein College.

Schedule of sessions: 10 Wednesday evenings, June 13 through August 22 (except July 4), from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Place: First UMC Endicott. You may order the book, or purchase it on Amazon.com: $13.60 new or $7.95 used. Please call the church office to register: 748-7434. Come when you can, even if vacations or other obligations interrupt your attendance. There is no cost for the series.


Selective quotes from the Bible have been used to justify slavery, war, oppression of women, condemnation of homosexuals, exclusive nationalism. Whether you consider yourself a believer or not, you may be interested in a very different framework for Biblical understanding.

This series will introduce some of the methods of historical-critical scholarship in biblical and religious studies, "placing the scriptural heart of the faith in its true historical context."

It will explore Christian Theism, the basic theological model of traditional Christianity (as well as of Judaism and Islam), and its alternatives. (Did you know there are alternatives within Christianity?) We will study Jesus of Nazareth and the Origins of Christianity; the Christ of Faith within the History of Christianity; Sin and Human Nature in the Christian Tradition; Grace and Salvation within the Christian Tradition; The Church, and the Churches from Pentecost to the Parousia (Second Coming of Christ); and Alternative Christian Views, the World's Religions, and the Future of the Faith.

Location:
First United Methodist Church Endicott

Cost: Free
