Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and Politics

Everyone agrees that America is polarized, with ever-hardening positions held by people less and less willing to listen to one another. No one agrees on what to do about it. One solution that hasn’t yet been tried, says Adam Hamilton, is for thinking persons of faith to model for the rest of the country a richer, more thoughtful conversation on the political, moral, and religious issues that divide us. Hamilton rejects the easy assumptions and sloppy analysis of black and white thinking, seeking instead the truth that resides on all sides of the issues, and offering a faithful and compassionate way forward.

Christ is Counting on You

We read daily devotions and associated Bible passages and discuss meaning, related experiences, and offer each other support for doing differently or better with Jesus as our guide. Sometimes, though, if a group member has had a particularly trying week or a peculiar experience, we deviate from the norm and talk and pray about that issue. We’re an assortment of differences, cultures, races, ages, and gender, and we welcome yours.

When: Sundays, 10 am, every Sunday

Where: The Sewickley UMC Library

Searching for Jesus

This group meets to watch Biblically based movies and programs and for discussion and fellowship. We will

When: Sundays, 10 am, every Sunday, beginning September 18
