Seeker’s Group

This group, which is open to all who are interested, meets at 9 am each Sunday to discuss books by contemporary authors, usually covering one chapter at a time.   Like author Rachel Held Evans, the group takes inspiration from the insight that the word “disciple”comes from the Latin “discere” – to learn.  “We’re all,” as Evans says in Wholehearted Faith,  “in process, all just part way through our studies.”

            Books that the group has recently explored include Evan’s Wholehearted Faith; Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal; Bruce Epperly’s Piglet’s Process; Barbara Brown Taylor’s Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others; Karen Armstrong’s Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life; and Ibram X. Kendi’s How to be an Antiracist, John Dominic Crossan’s Who Killed Jesus? Exposing the Roots of Anti-Semitism and the Gospel Story of the Death of Jesus, and Joan Chittaster’s The Time is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage
