Toolbox For Faith

Over the last several weeks during a study of Ephesians, my adult Sunday School class began talking about the obstacles to sharing our faith with others. I have long believed that in their hearts, most people know what they believe. The problem is translating that belief into words and confidently sharing those words with others. In response to these questions, the Sunday School class has decided to spend the next year building a Toolbox for a Life of Proclamation. Over the summer, we will focus on comparative religion, so we can feel more comfortable talking to others about their beliefs. In the fall, we will focus on learning and sharing key stories from the Bible and then next spring, we will focus on specific Lutheran teachings and on translating faith into the modern world. The group of about 20 adults is excited about the idea and I am excited about working through the topics with them. I still have to work out the details but you can see the basic outline for the class here.
