Is ambition a blessing or a curse? That’s one question Rene Scheys and Champ Singleterry are asking as they continue their series, by focusing on the play, Macbeth, Shakespeare’s shortest and most sublimely poetic major tragedy, which portrays Macbeth’s uncontrolled ambition to be the king of Scotland. The study will also draw parallels to four Biblical kings: Saul, David, Herod, and Jesus. A free copy of the play with footnotes and commentary will be provided.

Following last session's dynamic study on race, Nori Ochi returns to look at what it means to be the radically inclusive church community that God is calling us to be. The class will use Bonhoeffer's "Life Together" as the backbone for discussion, but will also incorporate both literature and stories from LGBTQ identifying Christians as we delve into what Bonhoeffer writes are the "riches that open up for those who by God's will are privileged to live in the daily fellowship of life with other Christians."
