Online Book Study in March

Our Anti-Racism/Pro-Reconciling Justice Ministries team is sponsoring a five-week online book study in March. All are invited and encouraged to participate in the discussion of Brian Kaylor's The Bible According to Christian Nationalists: Exploiting Scripture for Political Power. The gatherings will take place from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm via Zoom on Monday evenings March 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30.

The study will be facilitated by Jeff Moore, PhD, of Webster Groves Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Jeff is Affiliate Professor of Biblical Studies and Theological Method at Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO. Please plan to join us as we explore scripture and faith together!

The study is not limited to clergy, but reading the book and participating in all five sessions of the study does qualify as anti-racism renewal training for our Mid-America clergy.
