“Searching for the Historical Jesus” with Jean-Pierre Isbouts as our onsite guide. This video class of 15 thought-provoking episodes will bring Jesus and his world to life in vivid detail. Perhaps will come to better know this humble carpenter.
2000 years after Jesus’s short ministry, he has 2.5 billion followers – in over 40,000 denominations, 200 of them in the United States. Today nearly all historians and Biblical scholars agree that someone named Jesus of Nazareth lived in the first Century CE and he had disciples. Two events, baptism by John the Baptist and crucification under Pontius Pilate, are almost universally accepted as well. Using ancient sources, biblical and others, and archeology we will dig a bit deeper in an effort to understand.

Life Beloved
Wednesday, July 12th-26th at 6-7 pm / Led by Ron Davis
Fr. Henri Nouwen’ s: “Life of the Beloved — Spiritual Living in a Secular World.” Fr. Nouwen was a Dutch Catholic Priest who previously taught at Yale, Harvard, and Notre Dame before his passing. In this short, easy read, he helps us to embrace the irrefutable fact that we are always the beloved of God. He teaches us that modern life in the secular world attempts to dissuade us from feeling beloved by discounting our value and worth. Then he gently reinforces the blessings of trusting in God’s endless acceptance through Grace and His eternal love.
