21 December 2014 Adult Religious Education Class

NaturesGodBookPlease join us on Sunday (21 December 2014) at 9:30 AM for our Adult Religious Education Class.  We will be continuing our discussion of Nature’s God:  The Heretical Origins of the American Republic by Matthew Stewart.

A very persuasive response to the idea that our country was founded as a “Christian nation,” Stewart’s work takes a close, fresh look at what the founders meant by the words in the Declaration of Independence (“the laws of nature and nature’s God”).

We will have a 2 more books available if you don’t have one yet.  We will be discussing Chapter 3 (“Epicurus’s Dangerous Idea”) which will also touch on the life of the 16th century monk Giordano Bruno (that name may sound familiar if you have seen the television series Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson).

Find out what Epicurus, Bruno, and Thomas Jefferson could have possibly had in common.

The book is also available on both NOOK and Kindle e-readers.

If ordering through Amazon, remember to go through the All Souls website so that the church gets a portion of the proceeds.  From the homepage, scroll down to find the Amazon window on the right.

Nursery Care is provided for the Adult Religious Education Classes and during the worship hours.

Activities for children and youth will be provided during the Adult Religious Education hour at 9:30 AM.  If you have an activity or project you would like to share with a small, multi-age group, or if you are simply willing to hang out with them for supervised play, indoors or out, weather permitting, please email Susan Caldwell or call her at 318-465-3427.

Religious Education classes for Children and Youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service, then are dismissed to their classes.
