June 22 – 10am Our conversation will revolve around the Apostle Paul’s use of the term “en Christo” and how viewing the writings of Paul through this lens broadens our perspective. Unfortunately, the two short videos we will be using to inspire our conversation are copyrighted in such a way as we do not have the ability to post them online. Fortunately they are short videos and we do own the rights to broadcast them over Zoom – so we shall view them together.

our topic for 3 Tuesdays will be “The Cosmic CHRIST”
Moving beyond our conversations about Jesus of Nazareth, we will begin to explore what has been referred to by mystics and theologians as the Cosmic or Universal CHRIST. To prepare ourselves to delve into a more expansive way of understanding, you are invited to view the video below, in which Richard Rohr provides an overview.

We hear so much these days about “deconstructing” Christianity. During this Season of EASTER, while our focus is on resurrection, we are going to spend some time exploring the reconstruction of our faith.
Over the course of four faith CHATs we will explore new ways of practicing christianity in light of our evolving knowledge about the cosmos, what it means to be human, relating to the MYSTERY we call “God” and following Jesus’ way of being in the world.
Before each faith CHAT participants are encouraged to view selected videos which will function as conversation starters.
Tuesday May 4th faith CHAT
Jesus’ Way of Being in the World
Looking for a place to begin our conversation about Jesus’ Way of Being in the World, it makes sense to consult a Jewish scholar. Amy-Jill Levine is a professor of New Testament Studies at Vanderbilt University. Levine’s ability to view Jesus beyond the layers of doctrine heaped upon him by the Christian Church, has the power to open those of us who have been indoctrinated to a broader context, from which to examine Jesus’ Way.
As our CHAT runs for just an hour, we will save our CHAT on the nature of CHRIST to our June faith CHAT series.
