Dear Explorers
We are excited to begin our series of three Gatherings at Caloundra and two book studies exploring the question What is God?
For our first Gathering on Sunday 8 May at 5.30 pm in the Caloundra Uniting Church hall we are preparing what we think will be a very thought-provoking virtual Q & A with Rev Gretta Vosper (West Hill United Church in Toronto), based on her book With or without God: Why the way we live is more important than what we believe. Gretta describes her role as ‘irritating the church into the 21st century’. We will conclude the evening with a shared meal, so bring a plate.
I have obtained 20 copies of Rev George Stuart’s book Starting all over again? Yes or No? which we will be using for our first book study starting on 19 July. Copies will be available at the Gathering for a very good price of $25. There is a review at: ucforum.unitingchurch.org.au/?p=2458.
We are hoping you will be able to attend as many as possible of our three Gatherings and two book studies, which I will advertise throughout the year. If you know of anyone not on our email list who might be interested, please tell them what we are doing this year.
To start your exploration of What is God? here is a quote from Ludwig Feuerbach (1851): God did not, as the Bible says, make man in His image; on the contrary man, as I have shown in The Essence of Christianity, made God in his image.
