Thanks for a great conversation again last week. Our good talks have created a good problem, we have not yet moved through all of the material we had planned for the first five weeks of class. Luckily we are not on a schedule, so this week we will move forward with our discussion of liberation theology and take some time to talk about the articles posted earlier and again here:

We'll use some of our new "quadrilateral" skills to address the issues: scripture (take a look at the Exodus story if you have some time this week, Chapters 1-15 are sometimes called the "liberation narrative," with the poem of Chapter 15 serving as the "grand finale" if you only have time for one chapter), tradition, experience and reason. We hope this conversation will flow out of last week's talk about why we choose to be Methodists and what that means to each of us.
Until Sunday, enjoy the sunshine and be sure to let us know if you have any special prayer requests or questions for class.
Shalom,
Bryan and Deb
