Social Justice is a (Biblically) Big Deal for Christians

Episode 15
At Open Table UCC, we say that we are "theologically progressive, Pottstown focused, with Jesus at the center". We understand that those are loaded phrases which are bursting with meaning, stories, questions, and convictions, so we are endeavoring to take the next 9 weeks to unravel each of those statements as we explore what it means to be followers of Jesus in the 21st century. 
Today, we're continuing the "theologically progressive" section by asking why justice is such a big deal to us? More accurately, we're asking why social justice is such a big deal to God and writers of the Bible. It's kind of everywhere...

Loving Scripture as a Progressive Christian

Episode 14
At Open Table UCC, we say that we are "theologically progressive, Pottstown focused, with Jesus at the center". We understand that those are loaded phrases which are bursting with meaning, stories, questions, and convictions, so we are endeavoring to take the next 9 weeks to unravel each of those statements as we explore what it means to be followers of Jesus in the 21st century. 
First off is "theologically progressive", and what better place for progressive Christians to start than with the Bible! As Pastor Zack is fond of saying, "The Gospels are the reason why I'm a bleeding heart liberal". We'll break down the four layers of Biblical interpretation that Christians have used for millennia, and explain why Biblical literalism is actually a pretty recent phenomenon. Plus, we'll explore why it's worth it to wrestle with uncomfortable scriptures and how an ancient collection of stories, poems, laws, and letters can still speak relevant truth today.

Reflecting the Sacred with Rev Deb Schwartz

Episode 13
This Advent at Open Table, we are working on a series called "Reflecting the Sacred" in which we are contemplating the many ways that the Divine is reflected (and refracted) in our lives, our world, and each other. So to that end, we are going to be releasing conversations with some of our partners over the next few weeks talking about the ways that they see the divine reflected in their lives. 
 
This week, we are talking to the Rev Deb Schwartz. Deb is ordained in the UCC and has pastored two churches as well as working for Reading Hospital as a Laboratory Scientist. Her story is one that is filled with equal parts reason and mysticism as she grapples with her calling, walks across Spain, and digs deeply into the unknowing.
