Teaching

The Apostles’ Creed gives a few short words to the event at the center of so much Christian teaching: the death of Jesus. What does Jesus’ death mean for us, and how has it been understood through history?  To jump directly to the teaching, scrub over to the 14 minute mark.

This weekend we also gave an update on The Tribune Project. If you want to watch the video version of this announcement, you can head over to our website. Want to learn more or make a financial commitment to the project? Head to thetribuneproject.com.

As we enter Lent and return the Apostles Creed, what’s Pilate doing in the story? And how do we find ourselves in this story with him?

This week we enter into the practice of Eucharist. If you would like to join us, please have some sort of cracker or bread and juice or wine with you.

We’re living at time where conversations about gender are everywhere. The subjugation of women in the world and in the Church is being called out. The harmful power of toxic masculinity is being confronted. And the visibility of transgender and nonbinary people is increasing. Alongside all of this, we’re seeing new clashes in matters of public policy. This teaching is an exploration of these conversations, and the questions they raise, within a theological frame.
