Lunch and Learn: "The Bible and a Book" Study
Begins August 7th
The Bible and a Book, a weekly course which combines reading
the book Blind Spot: Hidden Biases of Good People with a study of 1 John, will
be led by Rev. Beth Brown Shugart. The class will be offered in-person on
Sunday afternoons in rooms F-147, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon
Family Life Center, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. beginning August 7th and continuing
through September 11th. Bring your lunch and stay for this class after worship.
Blind Spot: Hidden Biases of Good People is one of the most
eye-opening and most helpful books I have ever read. I am grateful to Rev. Beth
Brown Shugart for introducing me to it.
Our world is rife with questions about race, gender, and
other classifications. God calls us to do our part to make our world more just
and free for all of us. I cannot think of a better response to God's call
than educating ourselves with this book and joining this discussion together.
