"The Powers That Be" book club with Dr. Fernando Ona, FOR Wink Fellow

You are invited to participate in a 5-session book club to engage in a community reading & conversation on Walter Wink's seminal work, "The Powers That Be." We will meet the final Thursday of each month from January to May reading and discussing 2-3 chapters each month -- you are welcome to come once or come all five times.

Dr. Fernando Ona, the inaugural recipient of the Walter Wink & June Keener Wink Fellowship, will lead the group through the text and help us apply our own questions, community needs, and spiritual practices in this series of participatory conversations each month.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Renowned theologian and biblical scholar, Walter Wink helps us reformulate our ancient concepts -- such as God and Satan, angels and demons, principalities and powers -- in light of what we now know. The result is nothing less than a new worldview, one that will help us address the problems of the present and meet the challenges of the future. Wink's theology is shaped as much by his study of the Bible as by his involvement over decades in struggles for racial justice, human rights, ending war, and other pressing social concerns.
