SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: “Encountering God-2”
DESCRIPTION:Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice where Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet once a month to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader\, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures\, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \n  \n               Scriptural Reasoning – Introduction                Reading Material: Encountering God – 2 \n                  \nThis Month’s Study Leader\nMargaret A.
