“Where is the gospel of Jesus’ cross revealed today?”All are invited to join us in person for a Six-week comprehensive Study Guide prepared by the Conference Board of Church and Society with discussion questions, reflections, hymns, prayers and introductory video.
MONDAYS @ 6pm at Faith United Methodist Church
The Cross and the Lynching Tree provides a provocative and relevant Lenten study for congregations. Not only is the book a timely reflection on racism in this time of white christian nationalism and injustice, but also this theological work provides deep insights into what our primary Christian symbol really means and how the paradox of the cross informs our faith and contemporary experience. This “powerful and painful song for hope” is a perfect fit for Lent!
March 3rd Pre-Gathering: Personal Introductions & Watch a James Cone Video to prepare us for the study.
March 10th Week One: Introduction and Chapter One (“Nobody Knows de Trouble I See”)
March 17th Week Two: Chapter Two (“The Terrible Beauty of the Cross”)
March 24th Week Three: Chapter Three (Bearing the Cross and Staring Down the Lynching Tree”) Week Four: March 31st Chapter Four (The Recrucified Christ in Black Literary Imagination)
April 7th: Week Five: Chapter Five (“Oh Mary, Don’t You Weep”)
