This Sunday, we will watch an online service titled “Why Not Pray?” by Rev. Barbara Prose that was delivered February 3, 2013 at the All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa Oklahoma. Rev. Prose received her Masters of Divinity from Bangor (Maine) Theological Seminary in 2009 and completed a unit in Clinical Pastoral Education at Maine Medical Center in Portland. Barbara sits on the Board of Volunteers for Peace, an international work camp and volunteer service organization. Her involvement began during her years at Brown University, from which she received a B.A. in Russian Studies. She served as director of the Alternatives to Violence Project in Maine, working with inmates in the Maine State Prison and the Cumberland County Jail, and helped develop a Restorative Justice program in the Boothbay region. Rev. Prose was hired as Assistant Minister, supervising the Pastoral Care Program at All Souls (Tulsa, Oklahoma) in the spring of 2011.

This Sunday, we will have guests from the Episcopal Church of the Ascension as our discussion leaders. The topic will be the history of Christianity, its creeds, sacraments and symbols. We encourage those attending to bring a question or two about Christianity to contribute to this discussion. Please note that no question will be considered absurd. An example of a question some might have is: “Does Christianity discriminate against God’s creations? Such as, if one is not a Christian (accepts Jesus Christ as his or her personal savior) are those of other faiths (Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, Shintos, etc) doomed to Hell and damnation. What about those born before Christ? Are they doomed? What about animals? And perhaps even plants? In order to receive salvation and a happy after life (death) is the only requirement required that one accept Jesus Christ as his or her personal savior? After the speaker(s) completes her (their) talk, we will allow a few minutes for a brief question and answer period to address questions we may have pertaining to Christian thought. Please join us for a lively discussion on this topic.

* The answers provided by our discussion leader(s) reflect thoughts and opinions of the these members of Episcopal Church and do not necessarily reflect thoughts of all the various Christian denominations.

Jack Hartley will provide music with his guitar. All are invited to join us for lunch after the service.
