This new Discussion Forum seeks to help Christians wrestle with difficult
questions by stimulating informed conversation and reflection about living
faithfully in a complex world. We receive our studies from "The Thoughtful
Christian" website which is maintained by Westminster John Knox press of the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). However they use writers from a variety of
denominational affiliations and experiential backgrounds which will help us
hear a variety of perspectives from which we can learn and form our own
opinions.Each week there will be a different topic, announced in advance, with a study
guide which will be available on the church website or at the Forum. Participants
may help choose the topics, and new studies are constantly being produced in
response to news in the world and issues of interest.No need to commit to regular attendance; just come when the topic appeals
to you. The discussion should be rich and stimulating.
