Just catching up on posting the posters for the current series. They are fun to create - watch for the new one each week at the back of our worship space.

 

]]>Robert Webber Interviewhttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2010/2/1/robert-webber-interview.htmladmin2010-02-01T14:18:04ZI really enjoyed the comments and conversation last night as we continued the part of the series called, "Darwin, Freud and the Power of Myth."

I mentioned and quoted Robert Webber a fair amount. Here is a link to the Robert Webber interview in Christianity Today that I mentioned.

Together in the Jesus Story

And here is the news of his death, as reported by Christianity Today.

Though, we might need to buy Jane and Rog some more chairs : )

 

Stay tuned for the next session when we start looking at early 20th century, and where that swirling centre, which I keep mentioning, began to take shape.

Here is another Phyllis Tickle video to peak your interest.

]]>An Exciting Time to Be Alivehttp://www.grainofwheat.ca/dnss-blog/2009/12/28/an-exciting-time-to-be-alive.htmladmin2009-12-29T05:34:20ZDNSS in 2010 - New time, new place, new topic
DNSS will be taking a two week holiday break (no session on Dec. 27 or Jan. 3) and will be resuming on Sun. Jan. 10. We are trying something a little different for this series, something we call our special "sleeper-in" edition; in other words it will not be in the morning. For eight weeks we will be meeting at Jane and Roger's place, Sundays at 7:00 P.M. If you haven't had a chance to join us because of the time, I encourage you to come and join our conversation. Our topic is called: An exciting time to be Alive (or... How Christianity is Changing and Why)

"This is an exciting time to be alive. The world is changing rapidly, new frontiers are opening up in every area of life, the creative classes in the global world seem primed for a new Renaissance. At every corner—socially, politically, scientifically, economically, religiously—new and intriguing discoveries are being made, and one can hardly keep up with all the ways these discoveries are in the process of affecting everything else.

What we will say about God in the coming years will very much affect how we will live, what kind of people we will become, what kind of world our children will inherit. These are not issues of dinner party debate. They are serious issues, calling us to a place of awe-full responsibility."
Phyllis Tickle
