  • 4: The Wisdom Books of the Bible. Led by Brian Holcomb. These books are often lost between the majesty of Torah and the glory of the prophets. Find out which books they are, what's in each book, what 'wisdom they teach and how they fit into the rest of the Old Testament.

  • 15: HISTORY & STRUCTURE OF THE ANGLICAN LITURGY. Led by Ed Beals. We begin with the antecedents in Jewish worship and trace briefly the development of Christian liturgy to the first English translation of the Latin Mass in 1549 by Thomas Cranmer. Then we follow the development of the eucharistic liturgy in the Anglican tradition to the present day, especially as it evolved in the U. S. A detailed discussion of the structure and rationale of the eucharistic liturgy will be presented, as it is celebrated today, particularly at St. Michael's. We will include a survey of outward symbols, ceremonial and gestures traditional in Anglican practice.

  • 13: With God On Our Side. This film takes a look at Christian Zionism, which teaches that because the Jews are God's chosen people, they have a divine right to the land of Israel. It describes a biblical alternative for Christians who want to love and support the people of Israel, but with a theology that doesn't favor one people group over another; one which promotes peace and reconciliation for both Jews and Palestinians.
