Faith in Action Book Club

Many of you have read about our new “Faith in Action” groups. These small groups are designed to build relationships and allow space for dialogue and growth in our faith. These groups will center around quarterly topics. The first quarter (Sept.-Dec.) will focus on a discussion of world religions. For this class, we will be using “Christianity and World Religions” by Adam Hamilton. Class will be held in the David Bacon Room at noon on Wednesdays beginning Sept. 20, 2023. Feel free to bring your lunch!

In Adam Hamilton’s book, Christianity and World Religions, he examines the world’s major religions – Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Readers will gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences between Christianity and the faiths of some of their next-door neighbors.

In each chapter, you’ll read about one of the major religions, discovering its essential beliefs and the historical setting of each faith. This study looks for common ground while noting differences, and, hopefully, readers will come away with a better understanding and appreciation of other faiths and be led to better fulfill Jesus’ command to “love our neighbor as we love ourselves.”
