For September 8

How do we understand the significance of "The Fall" as told in the Genesis narrative?

How do we understand the particular roles of Adam and Eve, and how does our particular theological perspective on this influence the way we understand ourselves as human beings--as people seeking relationship with one another and with God?

How can we explore the richness of the text in a way that invites both our imagination and our struggles with how we seek to cultivate and recognize "goodness" in our world today?

Come join the conversation!!! Sunday morning at 9:15 in the Parish Hall...
