The Seekers Book Study

The Seekers is a study group exploring ways to understand the divine through books and videos by progressive theologians. Carl Jung noted that as religious people move beyond childhood, they may struggle with the image of God “up there” in heaven. This class explores different ways of understanding the divine that may resonate more deeply with those who have moved beyond the God image of our younger selves.
