Trinity Forum: The Apocalypse, Part I -- the Book of Daniel

Trinity Episcopal Church in Concord invites you to its Sunday morning Adult Forum, Trinity's adult education program, which meets weekly at 9 AM to hear speakers connect us to these topics:  word, worship, wonder, world, and witness, five important aspects of our Christian life.

Join us on Sunday, October 16 at 9 AM for our focus on the "word" with Trinity parishioner Jim Wood presents some biblical perspectives about the end times. Jim is a parishioner of Trinity Church Concord and past Junior Warden.  A graduate of Yale University, he holds graduate degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo in American and English History.  After a career in software development and management, he became the Parish Administrator of the Church of the Advent in Boston in 1997.  He has been a serious, and largely self-taught, student of the Bible for over twenty years.

Episcopalians, along with other mainline Christians, have for too long been embarrassed and unsettled by the two full-fledged apocalyptic books of the Bible--Daniel and Revelation.  In the upcoming Trinity Forum of October 16, we will attempt to reclaim this often mysterious and puzzling book for our own Biblical heritage.  We hope to show that you don't have to believe in the "left behind" or "the Rapture" phenomena to make sense of these books.
If you plan on attending you may find it useful to read the Book of Daniel, Chapters 7 to 12.

Trinity's invited Forum speakers come from many walks of life and have addressed all manner of topics. Among our recent topics are pilgrimage, faith lost and found, histories and Biblical persons, death and dying, parenting, stewardship, grieving, and much more.

All area residents are welcomed at the Trinity Episcopal Church Sunday morning Forum. Childcare begins in Trinity's nursery at 9 AM; Trinity's buildings are fully accessible.  For further information on Trinity's Sunday morning Forum, please call 978/369-3715, or visit us on the web at http://www.trinityconcord.org.
