SUMMARY:Reading Scripture Together: Dangerous Sisters and Daring Sisterhood
DESCRIPTION:We are working in partnership with Sarum College Salisbury to jointly badge some of their short courses to enable Modern Church members to join at a discount! These offer top class biblical studies, in-person retreats and other thematic study days.\n\nWith Jayme Reaves and Rabbi Shoshana Boyd Gelfend\n20% fee reduction\nfor more information see: https://www.sarum.ac.uk/short-courses/rst-sisterhood/\nOn the all too infrequent occasions when women take centre stage in the Bible, we usually see them in the secondary role of mother or wife. But there are also several powerful sister narratives in biblical literature which bring out a very different side of these women. In this day where we will be reading scripture together, we will look at the many different faces of biblical sisters: stories of conniving sisters (Lot’s daughters), dangerous sisters (Dina, Tamar), rivalrous sisters (Rachel and Leah), redemptive “sisters” (Ruth and Naomi), and dutiful devoted sisters (Mary and Martha). Together, we will see the variety of ways that biblical literature depicts sisters and we will discuss what wisdom we can draw from these depictions.\nReading Scripture Together is a series of conversational one-day courses during which we re-read selected sacred texts in detail and consider the ways they have been interpreted, both in the written word and in art, and on their relevance and meaning to us today.\nIn order to receive the discount, you should enter the code found in your members e-newsletter. If you can’t find this, please contact office@modernchurch.org.uk ( mailto:office@modernchurch.org.uk ) to ask for your members code.\n
