Adult Forum:
Between the Sword and the Cross
How do Christians follow Jesus in a world marked by violence, war, and conflict?
This six-week adult education series invites participants into thoughtful, prayerful conversation about Jesus’ teachings on peace and the moral questions Christians continue to face when violence seems unavoidable. Together, we will engage Scripture, reflection, and respectful discussion as we wrestle with difficult questions—without expecting easy answers.
Between Sword and Cross offers space for careful listening, faithful disagreement, and deeper discernment. Come with a willingness to learn together in a spirit of openness and care. All materials are provided.

All are welcome to join in on the meeting. Please contact any of the Vestry Members for the Zoom link.
