Elaine Robinson introduces about 85 UM laymen and women to Christian theology on Sept. 17 at Oklahoma City University. She taught the first of six courses in "Seminary Lite," designed especially for laity and offered through Saint Paul School of Theology at OCU. The one-day courses continue this fall: Oct. 15, "Introduction to the New Testament," taught by Sharon Betsworth; and Nov. 12, "Introduction to the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible," by Lisa Wolfe. Spring courses will cover United Methodist heritage, church history, and worship. A study book is paired with each topic. (www.spst.edu/783) |
