Join Rev. Danielle on the third Thursday of every month to explore a different spiritual or theological topic in a relaxed setting. We’ll have snacks, a festive themed non-alcoholic drink, a short presentation and lively discussion questions. This is a drop in event, meaning there is no commitment to come every month and no homework required.
December Topic: A Child is Born- How does the Christmas story compare to other religious stories of miraculous birth? How have feminist theologians and reproductive justice activists understood this famous story of childbirth? What does it teach us about our embodied experiences of the divine? Let’s dive deep on the weird, radical story that is the Christian nativity story. (I’ll be drawing some from A Child is Born: A Beginners Guide to Nativity Stories by AJ Levine, a Jewish scholar of the New Testament. No requirement to read it ahead of time, but feel free to check it out if you’re interested).
