God Is Not One: A New Monthly Discussion Series

Most of us have heard the phrase “all religions are different paths up the same mountain.” But is that actually true?

Join us on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 2 to 4 pm as we dive into a provocative and illuminating study of the world’s great religions. Using Stephen Prothero’s God Is Not One as our primary text, we will explore the unique problems and solutions offered by traditions ranging from Buddhism to Islam to Yoruba Religion.

Rev. Chloë will supplement our reading with additional ministerial reflections and materials to help us connect these diverse perspectives to our own faith journey. We are incredibly grateful to Martha Sharp for opening her home to us for these afternoons of fellowship and learning.

Details:

  • When: 1st Tuesdays | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Starting on Tuesday, May 5
  • Where: Martha Sharp’s Home (Address provided upon RSVP)
  • Want to join the conversation? Please reach out to Rev. Chloë to express your interest. We want to get an idea of our head count before our first session and to be able to provide you with more information. Please also let Rev. Chloë know if you are interested but would prefer another time or online.
