Beginning January 9, 2014, and continuing through February 3rd, we'll be viewing and discussing a five-part series, Embracing an Adult Faith: Marcus Borg and What It Means to Be Christian.

Writing
Writing Group

Do you like to write? Do you like giving and receiving purely positive feedback? Then come join us in the Conference Room every Thursday afternoon from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Using a quotation or short piece of writing as a springboard, we write quietly for about twenty minutes and then, if we choose, share all or part of our writing with the group. Our feedback uplifts and encourages writers to try new forms of expression. Newcomers and drop-ins are always welcome.

Hiking Trinity Cathedral Hiking Guild
Saturday, January 4

Dear Hikers,

HAPPY NEW YEAR, and we start this 2014 with a hike in Lynch Canyon, off of 1-80 near Fairfield.  It is a long hike, given what we have done recently, with stiff elevation changes, although the paths are excellent.  If you are really out of shape, this shouldn't be your first hike for the season.  

We will gather at the cathedral at 8:45 am for a 9:00 am departure.  Pack a lunch, bring plenty of water, and let's start the New Year right!!

CLASSES FOR EPIPHANY 1

Beginning January 9

from 7 to 8:30 pm on

January 9, 16, 23, 30 and February 6,

room locations to be announced

 

First Peter

Presented by the Rev. Dr. Peter Rodgers and four Fuller seminarians.

 

The First Epistle of Peter is a short and beautiful letter that outlines the heart of Christian faith and life. It is written to Christians in Asia Minor in the first century who are experiencing "suffering for the name of Christ." Peter writes to encourage them to stand fast and live Christ-like lives in the midst of these trials. Rich in Old testament quotations and allusions to the words of Jesus, and their application to God's people, the letter is as relevant today as it was in the days f earliest Christianity. For five weeks we will study together this remarkable letter.

 

The Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan

Presented by Susan Hotchkiss and Andre Jensen.

 

Available for purchase in the Trinity Bookshop.

Come join us as we explore Jesus as we've never experienced him before.

 

"In Zealot, Reza Aslan doesn't just synthesize research and reimagine a lost world, though he does those things very well. Aslan rips Jesus out of all the contexts we thought he belonged in and holds him forth as someone entirely new. This is Jesus as a passionate Jew, a violent revolutionary, a fanatical ideologue, an odd and scary and extraordinarily interesting man." - Judith Shulevitz

 

Embracing an Adult Faith: Marcus Borg on What It Means to Be Christian

Presented by Rev. Anne McKeever

 

This is a five-session series for those seeking a richer understanding of issues in contemporary Christian practice and theology: Who was Jesus? Who is God? What is salvation? How do we practice our faith? How do we live in community? Each week we'll view and then discuss a short DVD segment of a lecture and discussion led by Marcus Borg, retired Hundere Chair of Religion and Culture in the Philosophy Department of Oregon State University and the author of nineteen books. Embracing and Adult Faith participant Workbooks will be available for purchase for $10 in class. Some workbooks will be available to check out and borrow for five weeks.
