Exploring All the Colors of Divine Love
People’s ideas about God have dramatically impacted world history in both positive and negative ways. How do we think about God and/or love? How do we communicate with and about God and/or love? This six-week course is designed to foster an ever-expanding idea of God that will allow us to live in all the colors of divine love. The first half of the course examines each participant’s past ideas about God. The second half explores new ideas of God and love from various faith traditions.
Speaking to God Through Documentary Poetry
Documentary poetry is a form of poetry that seeks to extend, interrogate, and/or be in dialogue with an existing piece of writing. Is there a document that has caused you harm—maybe a book you read, church teaching, pronouncement, or law that you have seen do damage? A text that you would like to question, yell at, argue with? Or maybe there is a document that inspired you so much, you wanted to be in dialogue with it and continue the conversation long after you finished reading it? If so, this 4-week documentary poetry class is for you. We will begin by becoming familiar with the form, reading artists like Claudia Rankin and Layla Long Soldier. Then we will create our own works of documentary poetry. You do not have to have any previous writing experience.
Greening Grace
What is grace? How does it move through our lives? Many Christians’ understanding of grace is primarily bound with what they have been taught about sin. Over the course of four weeks, we will explore the topic of grace through creating abstract color and lines, with the hope of understanding it better and experiencing it more fully in our lives.
