Fall Group Study

There’s been wonderful interest in adult studies after worship in the last year. This fall, join me for an exploration of the life and ministry of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This is a free, accessible course that explores the history and Christian theology of this Lutheran pastor and theologian who gave voice to the heart of Christian faith in WWII era Nazi Germany and in defense of those who were suffering.

During this study series, you’ll learn about Bonhoeffer’s life spanning from his childhood, early years in ministry, to inspiration gained from his time in the United States including in Harlem. We’ll follow his life up to his decision to resist fascism, and his execution in the final days of the war as a member of the resistance. This course comes before the expected release of a movie about Bonhoeffer in late November that is expected to distort Bonhoeffer’s life and writings. So, come and learn about the real Bonhoeffer!

This study sets aside time to reflect on your own life story, reflecting on experiences that have shaped your own beliefs and interests. As many of us experience life transitions, this will provide you with opportunities to gain clarity and develop your own unique sense of purpose at this moment in life. In the course of the series, you’ll grow in your understanding of Christian faith and a critical point in history.

We will meet in-person. For those unable to join us for every session or who want access to additional content, there will be an option for an online subscription for a fee.

I hope that this study is our largest yet! Please join us. Register here or contact the church office for more information.
