“Striving for a Christian Vision of Love and Action”

Mission

The Betty Phifer Advanced Studies Class focuses on two primary goals that are couched in the spirit of Christian love and activism: (1) to promote open and respectful discussion in seeking to understand and explore ways to solve problems in the contemporary world while gaining insights from experts in various fields and/or from each other; and (2) to grow in service to—and in love for—God and our fellow human beings.

Discussion Guidelines


Current Schedule

Come be a part of the discussion! While we often agree on issues and concerns in our discussions, diverse viewpoints add to the ongoing richness, growth, and complexity of the conversation. Each one of us is a seeker, and we take seriously the journey on which every member embarks to achieve further understanding.

Current Study

The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church’s Conservative Icon by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan

The authors use biblical and historical scholarship to separate what they argue are the genuine writings of the apostle from the writings attributed to him. They maintain that the later letters of Paul were created by the early church to transform him into something they considered more acceptable. They posit that there are really “three Pauls” in the new Testament: the Radical, Conservative, and Reactionary.
