A Century of Ethics in a Christian Context


  • First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia 201 South 21st Street Philadelphia, PA, 19103 United States (map)

A new Adult Christian Education series in October and November

Rev. Cindy Jarvis, who has written extensively on the subject of theology and ethics, will lead a four-part series on theology and ethics. She will be joined by guest speakers Dr. Nancy Duff, retired Associate Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary, and Dr. Katie Day, Professor of Religion and Society at the Lutheran Theological Seminary. Drawing from the work of writings of a group of modern theologians whose names are both familiar (Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Paul Lehman) and less well-known (Katie Cannon, Emilie Townes, Marcia Riggs), they will lead us in asking what we are to be and do as “followers of Jesus Christ and members of his church...in the world God has given us to be human in.” Nancy Duff will be leading the classes on October 27 and November 3, Katie Day on November 10, and Cindy Jarvis on November 17. The classes will be held on Zoom at 5 PM on these four Wednesdays. Please register below to receive the Zoom link.
