Ever feel like Jesus has been kidnapped by the Christian Right or the Secular Left?
Saving Jesus is a DVD-based small group exploration of Jesus Christ. Featuring leading
religious voices of our day, the program includes a printable participant reader and
discussion questions. The basic format for each weekly 1-1/2 hour session includes
conversation around the readings, a 20-minute video segment and guided discussion.
Join Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, Matthew Fox, Amy-Jill Levine, James Forbes

There are current conversations about the UMC and the Episcopal Church entering into

that might mean.
