For centuries, both Jews and Orthodox Christians have wrestled with how to honor the mystery of a God who cannot be seen—and yet also chooses to be seen. This talk explores the deep theological questions behind sacred images, the role of the human as image-bearer, and why what may appear as irreconcilable differences can sometimes conceal shared intuitions. Along the way, we’ll uncover how ancient insights continue to speak powerfully to modern debates about representation, reverence, and the presence of the divine in our world.

We meet on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm in Wolfington Hall. There is no registration -- just come and join us if you can make it.  Our goal is to grow together in faith and life through forming a supportive community; learning to pray individually and together; becoming more familiar with God’s word in scripture; understanding who we are as humans, who God is and how God wants to relate to us, and being encouraged to live lives of service and solidarity with others.  Weekly formats will vary, including staff and student talks, scripture exploration, interactive activities, quiet reflection, small group sharing, personal and group prayer, community building, and occasional service components. And we hope to have a great time together. We hope that you will join us!!
