Event Description

Unity Church of Christianity's second metaphysical Bible class will be an on-going study of Jesus’ Parables. A parable is a short story with a double meaning - a meaning behind the words being spoken. The people hearing Jesus’ stories knew the references he was making. We can have a greater understanding of Jesus’ teachings when we explore these poignant stories that Jesus told in light of their cultural and historical references, as well as modern-day metaphysical interpretations. We will discuss the meaning behind these parables in light of our everyday lives 2000 years after their original telling.

This class will begin on Wednesday, June 25 and held from 7 - 8:30 pm following our 6:30pm Meditation. Each class will present a different Parable and stand on its own, though interpretation skills, historical and cultural information, will build from one lesson to another.
R

Additionally for S.E.E. credit, a written assignment will be given prior to the last class for evaluation of the participant’s understanding of the material presented and involvement in the class.
