Look at this valiant bunch of Lifelong Learners who braved cold, snow, a four-hour round trip, and 14 consecutive presentations on theology to hear me tell the Zygon Center for Religion and Science at LSTC about OSLC's Science and the Bible classes!
As counter-intuitive as it may seem, academic study of the Bible
can be a draw in congregations, if scholarly material is adapted to the parish setting.
Meaning, there should never be 14 consecutive presentations on theology...
