This class is causing quite a stir at church and many people have been talking about the issues during the week at coffee on Sunday morning. The class has grown quite a bit each week. Because many people have come into the class late, there will be another class planned to deal with issues later in the year. The class finished up after several more weeks. The class came up with the following conclusions, listed in no particular order.
