 Christian education is an important part of Emanuel’s life and ministry. Adults are encouraged to continue their Christian education, and the Adult Forum meets throughout the academic year to provide opportunity for the furthering of one’s Christian education. Topics at the forum are wide-ranging, but are generally concerned with biblical studies, contemporary ethical concerns, topics of cultural relevance, issues in Christian theology, and inquiry into the teachings of religions other than Christianity.
The Adult Forum gathers in the Louise Martz Social Hall at 8:45 a.m. for coffee and tea. Classes begin at 9:00 a.m. in the Social Hall. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Topics for the 2009-2010 academic year are as follows:
- Review of the ELCA Sexuality Statement
- Review of The Lutheran Magazine
- Global Warming and Prospects for the Environment
- Five Great Stories from the Bible
- The Spirituality of Simone Weil
- Faith and Physics
- Huston Smith and the Perennial Philosophy
- Rumi and Islam
No special knowledge is required to attend the Adult Forum, and the discussion is open to all. Readings are occasionally assigned. Click on the thumbnail photos below to see photos of the Adult Forum in action.
