| Traveled with some women friends to Min. today to listen to Bishop Spong. What a message he had. Wish you could all have heard it, but especially my DH who has a bit of a problem with a lot of scripture. We are going to read his books and get together to discuss a chapter every week in addition to other weekly class study and any personal study. I am also doing a lot of art study, trying to refresh this old memory for when I start (for the first time) teaching oils in January and February.
Tomorrow, I will finish my 4 oil paintings, so they can dry thoroughly before shipping them for the instructors exhibit in FL. So, tell me what are you studying now? BTW: Please excuse all my typos, grammatical errors and spelling, I don't spend the time correcting forum notes. We probably all have better ways of spending our time. I used to be able to type perfectly. In fact, that was my first job. I had to type perfectly without any corrections three copies of the entire history of my home town for the Chamber.

| I went to hear Bishop Spong last spring and enjoyed it very much - but the good part was that my husband came along. I had been having a hard time getting him to believe that there are people and churches who share his beliefs. I envy you having friends to share reading and conversation with. I have only one friend who reads and for that reason alone she is very precious to me. I am, as usual, reading bits from all over the place. Last week I worked on the story of Ham and Noah. I have learned to read Hebrew and between that and all the sources on the internet I reached no conclusions but discovered some interesting questions. Good luck with your teaching. I am sure that everything will come back to you. A couple of weeks ago I did a monologue as Mother Jones, something I hadn't done in 30 years, but it came right back to me. I don't know how I would fare learning something entirely new |

| bb, Nice to hear what you are doing. I was going to try to teach myself Hebrew and Greek at one point, but soon decided that wasn't going to work. Yes, I am looking forward to the discussions groups with my women friends. I told I or we are going to read Bp. Spong each day. I think I will read it to him while he does his ortho exercises. I will have him trapped. teehee Wish you could be here for the discussion group. Maybe you would want to read the same book that we start with and you and I could throw it out for discussion here, if that is not frowned on, otherwise, we could email. What do you think" We are beginning with "The Sins of Scripture: Exposing the Bible's Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love." After that we, we will see. I know I will be gone most of the winter, so am hoping, if I organize the group, that they will take a winter break, so I don't miss out. This is too good stuff to miss! |
