Upstairs Sunday School class:
Perspectives on Christianity
How do Christians understand the Bible, the sacraments, the meaning of life, and our work in the world?

We're adding to this list. If you join us, you can add to the list with us. For each of those we include, we prepare some lists of titles and links to reviews and excerpts on Amazon.com so that the people in the class can explore them quickly. Then the class decides which we want to discuss. We spend from one to three weeks on each one we choose. Obviously we could spend much longer on any one author, but, at this point in our time together we are more interested in seeing an overview of many perspectives than in focusing on one.
We welcome one-time visitors, multi-time visitors, or new members to our class. We meet at 9:30 am on Sundays in the large room at the top of the stairs.
