2009-2010 Program Year

Year One - Shaking the Foundations: The Emergence of a New Christian Paradigm

Seeking God in the 21st Century is an ongoing program designed to support seekers in their exploration of Christian meaning and practice, traditions and its contribution to the life of the world today. Year One is the foundation course for the program. After completing Year One, participants are welcome to continue SG21 on a yearly basis. Topics will vary each year.

This class will provide an in-depth re-education for those seeking to explore the heart of the Christian tradition, its radical claims on our lives, and the challenging “good news” of the Christian message for the world. We will explore the historical setting of Jesus, the nature and study of the Bible, how concepts of God and Jesus shape our worldview and our understanding of discipleship. An introduction to spiritual practice is part of this program year. This course is a must for every Christian or seeker who wants to look afresh at the riches and depths of the Christian tradition. This class is taught by The Rev. Canon Marianne Wells Borg with select sessions by Dr. Marcus Borg .

Ongoing Course: 2009-10 The Quiet Center

For those who have taken Year One, this year will build upon contemplative practices and “sacred conversation” and focus on practice and community. We will explore and integrate our experiences of the presence of God in ourselves, in the everyday, and in community. In this year it is our hope we will come to know the significance and truth of St. Paul’s shimmering words: “And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed from one degree of glory to another, for this comes the Lord, the Spirit.” Our emphasis this year will be to live our lives, our practice, and our vocation for the common good.
