Experience sacred literature through UU eyes.

Our discussions are generally filled with reverent irreverence (no, that’s not an oxymoron) and equal measures of silly and serious.

We are currently reading the Book of Mark.

If you haven’t dropped by to join in the reading and discussion (and take a turn holding Charlotte), we’ve got two chapters left of Matthew before we move forward (or back, as the case may be – I’ve been told the plan is to alternate New and Old Testament books), and the discussions range from whether or not all of the words attributed to Jesus are really his to whether or not aliens are mentioned in the Bible, with most of the topics falling more toward the former than the latter extreme.

There is no judgment of each other, but we do pick apart the words we’re reading, taking meaning where we find it.

There is a lot of laughter – but there are serious moments as well.

The Sacred Texts group meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM in Hope Chapel.
