SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: Hope
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\, grounded in an ethic of mutual hospitality. 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. \nThis month’s study leader is the Rev. Katherine Grieb\, PhD. Dr. Grieb is the Director of the Center for Anglican Communion Studies and a long-time professor of biblical studies at Virginia Theological Seminary. \nWe would like to thank Rose Castle Foundation for their permission to use www.scripturalreasoning.org content. \nA map of the VTS campus can be found here. \nThe text pack for this session can be found here. \nThis is a hybrid event. The Zoom link for this session will be provided the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Join or Die
DESCRIPTION:Join or Die is a documentary about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America depends on it. The film follows the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam\, whose groundbreaking Bowling Alone research on the decline of community connections may hold answers to today’s democratic crisis. Alongside influential voices such as Hillary Clinton\, Pete Buttigieg\, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy\, Eddie Glaude Jr.\, Raj Chetty\, and Priya Parker\, as well as grassroots groups building community across the country\, Putnam explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly\, what can we do about it?
