Join us after church in the library at 12:15 pm for DVDs and discussion. Bring a snack or nosh on some of the leftover goodies from coffee hour as we watch a DVD segment on some aspect of what it means to be a Christian in the twenty-first century and discuss what we have seen and how it applies to our lives. Past studies include Faith and American Politics: Liberty and Justice for All,  Saving Jesus , Countering Pharoah’s Production-Consumption Society Today, Living the Questions , Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth and Bill Moyers’ interviews with Huston Smith on religions of the world: The Wisdom of Faith .
