The special guest speaker will be Marcus J. Borg, Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University. Often cited as one of the leading historical Jesus scholars of his generation, Borg is the author of numerous books, including the bestsellers Jesus: A New Vision and Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time.

This event is an occasion for reflection and refreshment in community with others who have a desire to listen, learn and explore together themes of deepening personal Christian belief and ways to speak about Jesus and faith in public life and local settings.

There is no charge for this event. However, we will be taking donations for the St. Andrew's Church housing project in Ramallah, the West Bank.

As preparation for the event, we recommend reading some of Borg's work. Suggested titles, available from the Massachusetts Bible Society (1-800-445-4018, 20% off for churches), www.episcopalbookstore.org, www.episcopalbookstore.com, www.powells.com, www.amazon.com:
