Joy to the World: Christianity’s New Narrative of Faith, Science, and Kindness For All Creation
Epiphany Book Study | Wednesday evenings, January 8-February 19
Ed Bacon continues his exploration of a Universal Christianity free from the “fall and redemption” view of God as up there and out there who “sent” Jesus to die for our sins. Using “The Book of Joy” by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Ed will explore the understanding that God is not a Christian but rather is interwoven and active in every member of Creation. Ed is writing a new book on “Holy Atheism.” This class will be a synthesis of Ed’s learnings from mysticism, science, and contemporary theologians who are rooted in love and oneness.
Please register so Ed will know who to expect:
