Class Descriptions:

• Gay & Faithful (Baker Parlor) - This class is for anyone who wants to explore homo- and bisexuality as they relate to and complement our Christian faith. Learn along with the Rev. Amber Carswell as we approach this timely subject through the lenses of scripture, tradition, and reason.
• English Spirituality (Morrison Hall) - We will survey the development, from the Middle Ages to the present, of approaches to our relationship with God that we might see as distinctively English.  Frequently, we will refer to writings of and about representative figures in each historical era.  Along the way, we will note how we Episcopalians have derived much from the spiritual outlook and practices of English Christians through the centuries.

• Introduction to Theological Debate (Lower Mitchell House) - This five-week "Introduction to Theological Debate" is led by Dr. Keller.
