Summer Adult Education: “Letters to a Young Doubter”
Posted by pastor on 09 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: All
On three consecutive Thursday evenings, July 31, August 7 and August 14, Pastor Jed will be leading a discussion of an excellent book by William Sloane Coffin titled, “Letters to a Young Doubter.” The book, which was published just before Rev. Coffin’s death in 2006, offers fresh insights on faith and belief that might go a long way in kindling, or re-kindling, a fledgling Christian faith. While the author’s imaginary conversation partner is a first- year college student who’s struggling to keep faith alive in a secular academic environment, anyone who wrestles with faith in our contemporary world will find Coffin’s reflections helpful - perhaps even transformative. The class will meet from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Location will depend on how many folks express interest. If you’d like to attend, please inform Pastor Jed on Sunday or call him at the office (847-356-5237).
