Adult Religious Exploration
Adult Religious Exploration takes many forms at St. John's. Perhaps you would like to join a small group of individuals sharing opinions? Or are you more interested in earth-centered faith, or meditation? Or do you prefer a more structured series of lectures and workshops?
We have classes available in the following five areas:
- Unitarian Universalist History and Identity
- Religion: Theology and Faith Development
- Spiritual Practice
- Social Justice and Ethics
- Community and Personal Growth
Some of these require registration and others are available on a Drop-In basis. We have a wide offering of classes for this year.
Classes are open to members, friends, and neighbors in the community. There is no charge for the class itself, although books are required for some of the classes.
