Short-term Sunday School Class “Honoring Our Neighbors’ Faith” Aug. 25 – Sept. 29

August 25 – September 29
Second Hall, 9:50 a.m.

Different people—especially in pluralistic America (and Little Rock!)—have different beliefs and religious practices. How do we deal with variance in beliefs? We honor our neighbor’s faith and trust that it is as heart-felt as ours, but where do we go from there? Designed around a book and video series by Adam Hamilton, this course will explore Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism. We will seek to understand the essential beliefs and historical setting for each faith and compare the beliefs with those of Christianity—seeking to build bridges with others so that we might grow in our faith, seek peace in our world, and live faithfully with our neighbors.
