Upcoming Engage! sessions:
Engage! The Idea of Sacrifice in Early Christian Tradition – Wednesdays: July 8, 15, 22 & 29 • 6:30 PM – What do Christians mean when we speak of sacrifice? Why has the idea of sacrifice played such a central role in Christian belief and worship? Join parishioner James Rives, professor of classics at UNC-Chapel Hill, for a four-week exploration of sacrifice in the ancient world and early Christianity. Together, we’ll examine sacrificial practices in Graeco-Roman and Jewish traditions, the role of sacrifice in the persecution of Christians, and how early Christians transformed the idea of sacrifice in their theology and worship. Attend any or all sessions. Download handouts: Overview | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 | Session 4
