Living Faithfully in Uncertain Times: Jews and Christians Reading Scripture Together
Join us on Zoom as Father Chris Yaw of St. David's Episcopal Church and Rabbi Aaron Starr and Congregation Shaarey Zedek explore passages from the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament that speak to fear, hope, justice, and faithful living in uncertain times. These conversations are an opportunity to deepen our understanding of Scripture, learn from one another's traditions, and strengthen the bonds of friendship between our communities. All are welcome. Registration is necessary to receive the Zoom link.
