Challenging Power and Privilege A ten-week online study of the Gospel of Luke

Thursdays, April 21 – June 23, 2022 (7 – 9pmEDT)

The folks at The Alternative Seminary will be studying specific themes of Luke’s theology, including social reversals, inclusion of sinners and enemies, forgiveness and mercy, and many radical teachings on money and possessions.  This will be an intensive course that will wrestle with many deeply challenging texts – especially for people of privilege – and how they challenge us on what it means to live out the reign of God in the midst of American empire and White supremacy today.
