Welcome!![]() Ethics Is Our Religion Notable QuotesDreams are among our most precious possessions. We hold that dreams are not just for the night alone, but they are the stuff of daylight, outreachings of a better self, of a better tomorrow. Where our dreams meet, we may find one another, and a new life may be born. We cannot free people, but we can remove obstacles to their freedom and help them free themselves. We cannot make people want to live, but we can help remove the barriers to their living the conditions that kill the love of life. We cannot make people love one another, but we can bring them together, break down the walls and believe and try. Member Login |
Early Christianity (first session)04/02/2008 - 7:00pm 04/02/2008 - 9:00pm 4 sessions (attend one, several, or all) Early Christianity’s history, as scholars today describe it, is quite a bit different than what you might have learned in Sunday School or from earlier histories, skeptical or orthodox. The early history is rich with a variety of perspectives, most forgotten today. How the battles for what would become orthodoxy turned out has affected world history profoundly. NoVES Leader, Jone Lewis, has long had an interest in religions and how they developed, and she’ll bring some of what she’s learned from that study, aided by some videotapes and book excerpts from today’s scholars on the subject. Included: what The Da Vinci Code got wrong, way wrong, about Christian history. Place: Green Hedges, Arts Building Time: 7-9 p.m. Dates: April 2, 23, 30, May 7 Suggested donation: $20/course (covers all 4 sessions)
