About This Event

Event Information:

This fall’s worship and preaching series draws inspiration from Scripture and Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s short but profound work on Christian community. Bonhoeffer writes that life is always lived together with others, and this life lived in common is the gift of Jesus Christ. Yet, we have learned many ways to construe our lives, and some of the ways we live in community help us to flourish, and others do not. 

In five sessions, we’ll read this potent book and consider the rich offerings it makes for us today.  Our work will be a conversation, so we will ask and answer questions that Bonhoeffer raises. Professor Gregory Walter will lead us through the chapters with a presentation along with time for discussion and questions.
