The 905th Stated Meeting of Presbytery is Thursday, November 21st, at 10 am. It will be entirely online via Zoom.
Rev. Dr. Christopher Leighton will lead Devotions at the Meeting
Many in the Presbytery know Chris Leighton from the years he served as founding Director of the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies. He is a continuing retired minister of Baltimore Presbytery who currently lives in Maine.
Our society is sharply divided along political, racial, and religious lines. People of faith often feel debilitated in the face of these divisions, understanding neither their nature nor how best to respond. As these divisions become more intense, the need to get at their roots becomes more urgent. A Sacred Argument addresses this need, equipping readers with practical and theoretical resources to engage problems that all too often break down trust, shut down honest conversations, and disrupt collaborative action. This story aims to renew within each reader the sense of compassion and the deep yearning for understandings that can come from the encounter with those who see the world differently.
