Beginning on September 14, 2025:

God as Creator

The theme for Forum for the Fall of 2025 will be God's work as Creator and our role as God's creatures in creation.

We will begin on September 14 by looking at how Israel came to understand the God who liberated them from Egypt as the one God who created the universe. We will then examine the vastness of the universe as understood by modern astronomy and the unfolding of life on Earth, in light of our understanding of evolution.

We will turn to the consideration of the fragility and vulnerability of human life, including the problem of the suffering and death of human beings and other creatures. We will conclude before Christmas with a look at the Incarnation of God in light of human finitude, suffering and death.

Our goal is to develop a deeper appreciation for the glory of God's work in creation, and to cultivate the gratitude and humility we should feel toward our Creator, as expressed so beautifully in Psalm 8: When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are humans that you are mindful of them, the children of mortals that you care for them?
