The book choice was inspired in part by the gradually escalating turbulence associated with American politics, -- turbulence unheard of, since the violence that erupted near the end of the 1960’s – in spite of Dr. Martin Luther King’s calls for non-violence. Indeed, social science researchers have been noting that social justice activism has become an extremely stressful enterprise, particularly for Progressives, who are “pushing back” against the “far right”, fearing tht they will reverse gains brought by the Civil Rights Movement.

16 Without Buddha I Cannot Be a Christian Without Buddha I Cannot Be a Christian Oct 16- Dec. 11: Online (Zoom) and in-person book study and discussion group. Union Theological Emeritus Professor Paul Knitter spent his theological career in interfaith dialogue. In this book, "Without Buddha I Could not be a Christian," he answers "Do I really believe what I say I believe, or what I'm supposed to believe as a member of the Christian community." He has found that he is a better Christian blending in key thought from Buddhism. "All good theology is a matter of discontinuity in continuity, creating something that is root and nourished by the old" The book will be available for purchase in the welcome center.

Location Online Time 12:00pm - 1:00pm Exploring and Reclaiming Progressive Christianity Exploring and Reclaiming Progressive Christianity Sundays Oct 16-Nov 13, and Nov 27 Dec 11: There is widespread concern among Progressive Christians about the impact that fundamentalist evangelicalism might have on upcoming Supreme Court decisions, on upcoming midterm elections and on upcoming presidential elections. One concern is that social justice gains dating back over a century can be lost. Another is that fundamentalist theology might come to define American Christianity. Even more serious is the concern that fundamentalist evangelicalism might ultimately result in a mass exodus of younger generations from churches as we know them today. Based on the above concerns, the Riverside Church of New York believes that there is a need for a forum whereby such concerns can be explored, particularly with theological reflective lenses. Therefore, “Exploring and Reclaiming Progressive Christianity” is scheduled to launch in October of 2022.

Location Hybrid Time 1:00pm - 2:30pm Riverside Poetry Group Riverside Poetry Group The Riverside Church Poetry Group was founded in the late 1970's by Dr. Leo Thorne, Marjorie and Joel Horton as the John Donne/George Herbert Religious Poetry Society of The Riverside Church. Over time as the types of poetry shared and discussed became more inclusive of subjects, forms and the poetry of cultures worldwide, the group became the "The Riverside Church Poetry Group." Typically, the sessions are guided by themes; however, programs of individual favorites have been scheduled simply for enjoyment and/or discussion. Invited poets have engaged the group in sessions of writing and sharing of inspired outcomes. When time allowed, the group engaged in both discussion of themed offerings as well as writing from prompts. Attendance has ranged from 9 to 16 and sessions have been examples of wonderful fellowship with members providing Location N/A Time 1:00pm - 2:30pm Biblical Hebrew – Intermediate Biblical Hebrew – Intermediate During the course, students will focus on reading biblical texts and using lexicons and grammar tools to understand and translate the Biblical Hebrew verbal tense system.
