SUMMARY:THE CROSS  OF CHRIST: Justification for Redemptive Violence or a Call to Gospel Nonviolence?
DESCRIPTION:“THE CROSS OF CHRIST: Justification for Redemptive Violence\nor a Call to Gospel Nonviolence?”\nSaturday morning\, February 28 – 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.\,\nat Circle of Hope\, 2009 Frankfort Avenue\, Phila.\, PA 19125 \nThe death of Jesus is central to Christian life and thought\, yet it has been frequently been misunderstood and misused. In many tragic ways\, the cross of Christ has been seen as a kind of “redemptive violence\,” and has been directly or indirectly used to vindicate and even bless human violence. By looking at the crucifixion of Jesus in its historical context\, we will explore the question: Why did Jesus die? How is his death related to his ministry and witness in the Gospels? How did the early communities grasp his death\, and how does it make us think differently about the Resurrection? We will reflect on how a more radical understanding of the passion of Christ can impact our discipleship\, and particularly our efforts to witness to nonviolence in a violent world. \nThe program will be facilitated by Will O’Brien\, coordinator of The Alternative Seminary. A challenging event as we live into Lent and approach Good Friday. \nA light breakfast will be served. A $5 donation is requested to cover costs (though if you can’t pay\, please feel free to come anyway!). \nPlanned and Sponsored by The Alternative Seminary \nCo-sponsored by: Circle of Hope\, The Simple Way\, Red Letter Christians\, the House of Grace Catholic Worker\, Catholic Peace Fellowship\, and the Brandywine Peace Community. \nIf you are interested in participating\, contact Will O’Brien at 215-842-1790 or wobrien@alternativeseminary.net \nFor more information\, see www.alternativeseminary.net. \n
