Living the Questions Adult Study The Living the Questions (LtQ) Study, is a Progressive Christian DVD curriculum and book series. It provides a platform for exploring faith through questioning, aiming to bridge the gap between academic theology and laypeople. The program tackles topics like the Bible, atonement, and inclusivity in a non-judgmental, open-minded way, encouraging a "living" faith, that embraces ambiguity. The study targets adults and older teens and will last 5 weeks, running from March 1 to March 29. Sessions will be run after Church on Sundays, in room A. If you are interested, contact Tom Dickson before/after Church services or at tedickson1965@gmail.com.
