Calling all graduate students!!!!
Wesley Foundation Campus Ministry is starting a new group just for you!
During winter session, the graduate group will be participating in the Ecumenical Faith Discussion based on “When Christians Get It Wrong,” by Adam Hamilton, with the undergraduate group, and a few of the other religious groups on campus.
This past semester the group met on Monday nights from approximately 5:30pm until approximately 7:00pm. Everyone was asked to please bring $3 with them to help pay for dinner. During this time they read “Love Wins” written by Rob Bell. There was lots of time to discuss the questions that the book posed, how it could be taken, and what it meant for them. Throughout the semester there were also opportunities for fellowship with the undergraduate group as well as trips to significant locations. If you are interested or have any questions please contact our president Roy Collins at collinsr@udel.edu or our Campus Pastor Rev. Mary Haggard at revmary@udel.edu. This is the back cover to the book that they read:
Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived
Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God’s love and God’s judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this “good news?”
Troubling questions–so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud.
But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by “heaven,” “hell,” and salvation” are very different from how we have come to understand them?
What if it is God who wants us to face these questions?
Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the “good news” is much, much better than we ever imagined.
Love wins.
