[Highland Park] Jesus and Politics, Part III
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church 5801 Hampton Street, Pittsburgh (Highland Park) Adult Programs, Focus on Jesus: Jesus and the Political World Sunday, June 10, 4 p.m. Two weeks ago at St. Andrew's New Testament scholar Dr. Ken Bailey reviewed the biblical record in a wonderful and creative exploration of the political impact of Jesus' words and actions in the context of First Century Roman Palestine--and with implications for every era and locale. Last week we saw again the wonderful film "Becket" and enjoyed a rich discussion of the clash of "church and state" in that famous story from English history. This Sunday, June 10, at 4 p.m., we are invited to a Round Table Forum, where each of us will be invited, as we wish, to share how our understanding of the themes and values of our Christian life has affected our approach to politics and government. We know at St. Andrew's that we will have a diversity of perspectives and life-experiences to share, and we look forward to an interesting and challenging gathering in a spirit of openness, curiosity, and mutual respect. After we've gone "around the table" with discussion and response, we'll move on to a Sherry Hour, with refreshments and more informal continuing conversation. All are welcome! Concluding Note: KDKA Political Reporter Jon Delano was originally scheduled to speak at this event. His schedule changed, and he won't be able to be with us. However, we are pleased to note in anticipation that Jon has accepted our invitation to be our featured speaker at the 10th annual St. Andrew's Lecture, this coming October 12. More on this as the summer turns to fall . . . . BruceR
