SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: “Peacemaking”
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum had its monthly circle on October 26\, 2023\, to study Abrahamic scriptures on “Peacemaking” with our study leader\, The Rev. A. Katherine Grieb\, Ph.D.\, from Virginia Theological Seminary. \nScriptural Reasoning (SR) allows Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims to study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet monthly to read short passages on a topic from their respective scriptures. 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 scriptures and the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \n                   Scriptural Reasoning: Introduction                          Islamic Scripture: Quran \n                \n                 Christian Scripture: New Testament                    Jewish Scripture: Hebrew Bible \n               \nThis Month`s Study Leader \n\nThe Rev. A. Katherine Grieb\, Ph.D.\, became the Center for Anglican Communion Studies (CACS) Director on July 1\, 2021. She has served the Anglican Communion for some twenty years in many roles\, on the Inter-Anglican Theological and Doctrinal Commission (IATDC) and the Inter-Anglican Standing Committee on Unity\, Faith\, and Order (IASCUFO)\, among others. \nDr. Grieb received a B.A. in Philosophy and Religion at Hollins University\, a J.D. from Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America\, an M.Div. at Virginia Theological Seminary\, a Ph.D. with Distinction in Theology at Yale University\, and an LL.M. in Canon Law at Cardiff University in Wales. She taught full-time at Virginia Theological Seminary as a Professor of Biblical Interpretation and New Testament from 1994 to 2021 and continues to teach part-time.
