Our Wednesday evening adult classes are always based on a select book. In the class, we will cover a section of the book with a structured presentation. It is encouraged that participants prepare for each class by reading in the text. However, this is not required. In addition to studying the specific topic at hand, each class also has an open format which encourages and receives a wide variety of questions and other input from the participants. this format allows us to drift into other topics related and not so related to the main text.
For the 2009/2010 year our topic for our Adult Study will be Prayer. This series will begin on Wednesday, September 23. We will progress through a series of 3 books for this study:
Beginning to Pray by Anthony Bloom
Living Prayer by Anthony Bloom
The Art of Prayer: An Orthodox Anthology by Igumen Chariton
Our most recent previous study was in the book
The Sacred Gift of Life written by Fr. John Breck.
The subtitle of this book is
Orthodox Christianity and bioethics
The book provides a very informative survey of current
bioethical topics and then presents a very thoughtful
Orthodox Christian perspective to each topic.
