Leadership is shared among the class members, facilitating an open group where discussions are always interesting and lively. Members also join forces at Christmas to provide a care package to a Bosnian family. We look at Bible stories from a Jungian perspective, trying to understand the writers' mindsets and discovering how their stories might be our own. We are particularly interested in the psychology of religion and religious myth, exploring the works of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung, among others. Our group is small, allowing engaging discussion, and leadership is shared.
New members are welcome and encouraged.
We find that this Jungian approach to the Bible lectionary enables us to welcome Bible stories as our own stories. Class participation is expected and encouraged, and a class member leads the discussion. We also meet for social gatherings, weekend retreats, and a mission project. We also gather twice a year for some fun - at a picnic in June and at a spirited Christmas party. We're about 25 strong, and we're open to all who would like to join us.
