Many of us moderns avoid speaking about God altogether. This class will read and discuss a broad range of Jewish views considering what God might be, how we might come to know God and the nature of our relationships with God. The class will provide an opportunity to determine your own personal theology. Text: "Finding God, Selected Responses" by Rifat Sensing and Daniel Syme Register: http://bit.ly/2xsIflZ or www.uusf.org/adult-classes-and-programs Re-Imagining God in the 21st Century - Led by Isabella Price, MA Sunday, October 15, 12:30 - 2:30 PM In the late 19th century, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared: God is dead! But what "God" was he really referring to? And how we may relate to traditional conceptions of God that appear "outdated" in the age of modern science? Unlike the age of the biblical writers, we live today in an interconnected world that is ruled by science, technology, and secular thought. So where do we find room for God to act? Is God still relevant? We will explore some fascinating new approaches and notions of the Divine that have emerged at the leading-edge of spirituality and consciousness research. $10 donation is requested. No one turned away for lack of funds. Register: http://bit.ly/2vPX6CD or www.uusf.org/adult-classes-and-programs ADULT RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES More Info: Rev.
