The Adult Spiritual Education Committee will host a one-hour Reading Between the Lines (formerly known as Bible Workbench) on First Day, Nov. 3, from 9-10 am on Zoom.
We’ll discuss Mark 12: 38-44: the distance between taking an action—to “come near”—and being told you are “not far.” What it is like to take the step to walk out of tired habits and traditions towards hearing someone speak what feels like a new truth (but actually brings you back to the heart of what you’ve felt all along). Then, if what you hear feels resonant, to respond–out loud—even in front of those who try to tell you what to believe instead—and be told, “you are not far from the kingdom of God.” The facilitator will send the zoom link through the news list a few days before the meeting.
