Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion
without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands
will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate
with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength
that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us
when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we
can be free. --Starhawk

A New Look at the BibleThis Bible study group uses group and personal exercises creatively to demonstrate that the Bible speaks to religious liberals. Different versions of a biblical text are read and compared; both positive and negative responses are encouraged. Anything goes in this class, where the Bible is not an irrefutable document, but a rich, sometimes puzzling, sometimes transforming resource for understanding and coping with life. The group meets the first Thursday of each month.
