Day 2 – Clergy Day

Jump-start your preparation for the season of Advent with Amy-Jill Levine, Ph.D. Her book, The Light of the World, forms the core of our session, and is an excellent guide for small group discussions. Dr. Levine will delve into how Jews and Christians read scripture differently, exploring interpretations of Isaiah 7:14.
Note: Clergy will receive an advance copy of The Light of the World, distributed through their deanery.
