Join our monthly circle to study Abrahamic scriptures!The topic of this session is "Encountering God-2" w/ study leader Margaret A. Johnson.

Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice where Christians, Jews, and Muslims study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet once a month to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities.You can find this month's themed text pack <a href="http://www.scripturalreasoning.org/uploads/8/0/7/8/80786736/encountering_god_2.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.We would like to thank Rose Castle Foundation for their permission to use <a href="http://www.scripturalreasoning.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.scripturalreasoning.org </a>content.<h3>This Month's Study Leader</h3>Margaret A.
