Come for a relaxing, reflective day away each month. We open each session with a short prayer, spend much of the day in reading and reflection, have lunch, and close with a group discussion of the reading followed by prayer. Speaking Christian, by internationally renowned Bible scholar Marcus Borg, invites the reader to consider the original meanings of many of the very familiar words and terms that are part of our faith as Christians. He shows how many of these meanings have been narrowed and changed through the natural process of language development throughout the years and through translations from the original languages.

The book is way more than a "fuss" about semantics, but a defining of Christianity in a fresh language that people can understand and trust. Each short chapter is in itself a basis for reflection. Facilitator: Eileen Miller OSF
