“Progressive Christianity Network? But how progressive? Karl Rahner said that the Christianity of the future would be mystical or it would not be at all.
So we want to explore Mysticism – a thread that runs through most major religions and that was, I believe, the core of Jesus’ teaching. Yet the Church ignores it! What is Mysticism? Can anyone be a Mystic? What does it ask of us?

THE GALILEE COURSE – A FRESH LOOK AT CHRISTIANITY FOR INQUIRING MINDS
The Galilee Course is an introduction to Christianity created by the Rev Tim Yeager, an Anglican priest and PCN member, as a progressive alternative to Alpha. Originally created for use at St George’s Church (CoE) in East Greenwich, it is now being offered on Zoom. Stories from scripture are considered in the light of their historical and social context. Participants are invited to explore their own faith questions in a friendly and welcoming environment. The course meets for ten weekly sessions between 60 and 90 minutes in length. Each session features an illustrated talk using Power Point, small group discussion, and a Q&A session. The course is free and open to the public. Participants may attend any or all of the sessions.
The course will be presented on ten (10) consecutive Monday evenings at 8:00 pm, beginning on Monday, 25th of April, 2022. For more information or to register for the course, contact Rev Tim Yeager at: rtyeager@gmail.com or call: 07804 614245.
