The Power of Parable: How Fiction by Jesus Became Fiction about Jesus
Parables are stories that never happened but are ever happening. When Jesus spoke of God's Kingdom he created parables as fictional stories with fictional characters. When the evangelists wrote of God's Son they created parables but as fictional tales with historical characters.

Barbara Fiand, SND de Namur
"Encountering Jesus as the Christ of Our Today and our Tomorrow." 
During our time together we hope to encounter the person of Jesus - Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus the Christ as a meaningful and powerful presence in our lives and world.  We live in extraordinary times of scientific discovery and the transformation of consciousness.  What we know about creation and ourselves today can greatly expand our understanding of the energy and power for good that is coursing through the universe and that for us is centered in Christ Jesus.  Who is this man that changed history?  What was his relation to God, his vision and passion?  How did he pray and what does he call us to in our time?  These are the issues we will consider together.
