We will resume our Sunday forums on January 9th with: “Abel Reconsidering” by Pastor Ron Rude, retired campus pastor of U of A campus ministry. Pastor Ron wrote two books, “Abel Emerging” and “Reconsidering Christianity”. This session will deal with the evolution of his thought over years of ministry, bible study, etc. which, in many ways, led to the third book, next week’s forum. Both books are in our library for your use and Pastor Gary has extras.
The forum will be in the Campus Center Library at 9:15 (masks required) or via Zoom. Please contact the office (info@ulctempe.org or 480-967-3543) if you would like the Zoom link or if you would like to borrow any of the books.
Other forums scheduled for January are:
January 16: “Amending the Christian Story”, Pastor Ron Rude’s third and very recent book. Having evolved in many ways for 2,000 years, what parts of our Christian understanding is in need of reformation? This book also is in our library and Pastor Gary has a copy to lend as well.
January 23: “The Relationship of Judaism & Christianity” led by Pastor Gary.
If you would like to present a forum, please let us know (see email and phone number above). Thank you!
Due to a schedule change, the December 12th forum will be: “Close Encounters of What Kind?” led by students Dylan Weeks & Josh Burgett. Dylan is a senior majoring in Astro Biology, Josh is a senior majoring in mechanical engineering with an interest in space. Pastor Gary will also take part in the discussion. What life forms may be “out there”? If there are other life forms, especially those of an animal/human kind, what would that do to our Christian faith?
