"God-Talk: Moving Beyond Magical Language about the Divine."

Hi folks,

If you've never seen Richard in stilettos, go to www.fcchendersonville.org.

In Forum, for the next three Sundays at 9:15 our own Larry Anderson and Jill Bierwirth will continue their sessions on "God-Talk: Moving Beyond Magical Language about the Divine." 

Can you call yourself a Christian if you don't agree with those other Christians? Many of us struggle to find a balance between what our heads understand about God, and what our hearts long for in relationship with the divine.  But did you know that this struggle is not new?  This series will look at how theologians and pastors of the past achieved balance between head and heart in their faith, and how cutting edge scholars from new areas of study, like practical theology and relational theology, are offering us new options for talking about God when magical language doesn't work for us any more. So bring your God-talk questions and answers to ponder and to share as we gather for some group activities and discussion.

See you Sunday.

Hi folks,

This Sunday, Sept. 25 at 9:15 the Rev. Dick Wolgamott will speak about "When Religion Loses Its Focus." This looks at how most all religions are formed, and the problem inherent within them as they evolve over time. He'll look at the relationships between politics, economics, and religion, particularly as it relates to Islam and Christianity.
