The Scriptures record that every time a wife appeals to her husband with a request he does it with one exception. Scripture further records that every time a woman appeals to a man who is not her husband he complies with only two exceptions. There are over 25 examples. Why? What's the point? We will discuss the biblical examples of a female's appeal to a man and his response. It will become readily apparent that women have great appeal power.

In Celtic Society, women in early Christians times were protected by the Brehon law, far more than their Roman and Greek sisters, and enjoyed equality with the men in their society. They could be leaders, lawyers, poets, warriors, teachers and spiritual guides. This class will examine the lives of some of these women beginning with St. Hilda of Whitby, who hosted the Council of Whitby in 664. Our instructor traveled to the places where the women lived. Let us invite these saints of faith to accompany us on our twenty-first century journey.

Renaissance artists were heavily influenced by Christianity due to the Catholic Church being the main patron at the time. Paintings and altarpieces were produced for churches large and small as well as private chapels. Employing symbolism was an effective way to impart to the faithful religious stories, teach theological concepts and church doctrine. Since many of the members of the church, outside of the clergy and the nobility, were illiterate. Some symbols are familiar to us today, the Lamb, representing Christ, and the Dove, representing the Holy Spirit. But what do other symbols represent? A scorpion? A dandelion? Even a rock has a specific meaning. Animals, plants, flowers and insects all mean something in Renaissance paintings. Discover more about this fascinating subject from Debra Million, docent at The Kimbell Art Museum.

Art yearns for the divine. God is the poet of creation. And felicitous verse often appears to lift off the page in search of the sacred. This lecture will assess as well as probe how four modern poets -- Carl Dennis, Anya Krugovoy Silver, Luci Tapahonso, and Charles Wright -- struggle for faith in our seemingly disenchanted world.

Biblically speaking hell is a good thing, not pleasant but beneficial, even for those cast into the Lake of Fire! How can that be? Come and see. Jesus talked about Hell more than anyone recorded in the Bible. Was it the hell we have been taught? No. What would be the purpose of a God who would burn and torture any of His creation in fire for all of eternity with no hope of escape? Would He be violating His own word and law if He did such? Is He both a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide? And heaven - what will it be like? Will we be floating around all day on a cloud playing a harp? Don't think so. We will think outside the box. In class one we will examine hell. The first half of class two will be for questions and comments about class one followed by a discussion about heaven.
