Presented by Rabbi Andrea Cohen-Kiener And Rev. Janet Mckinstry
AM: Reading and Drawing the Stories of our Biblical Mothers
In an integrative approach to learning, we’ll draw forth stories of Biblical women by learning together. We’ll look at some of the stories of women’s lives and choices. Then we’ll create and draw our associations with the stories. How do their values, choices and roles hold pieces of our stories?
Co-taught by a minister and a rabbi, Rev. Janet McKinstry and Rabbi Andrea Cohen-Kiener. Both are loving scholars of sacred texts and Janet, additionally, is a skilled craftsperson. She works in multiple media and loves to make opportunities for others to tap into their creativity and inner artist. Learning for the Right and the Left Hemisphere!
PM: Myths, Metaphor and Meaning: Tools for Interfaith Dialogue.
Some experiences are hard to put into words. But they might be put into a metaphor or a teaching story. We learn history and theology from our scriptures, and there is also a language of symbols, parables and metaphors. Jesus of Nazareth surely taught that way. Perhaps the most important lessons are both hidden and revealed in stories, archetypes and metaphors.
Building on the insights of Maurice Nicoll in Parables of the New Man, we’ll look for a common language of symbology, that can help Jews and Christians find common understanding and meaning.
