Christianity Explored
Christianity Explored is for anyone who wants to look at Christianity with a group of other people. Whether you have previous experience of Church and the Bible, or none at all, this course is for you.
Everyone is welcome - from the most sympathetic Sunday schooler to the convinced atheist. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable.
The course is normally run in groups of six to nine people, and after briefly discussing the course material from the week before, there is a talk or DVD on the theme for that week. Then the groups discuss any questions that have arisen, and the evening ends at about 9pm.
The focus of Christianity Explored is on Mark's Gospel, with its emphasis on who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him.
