What they’re saying

“The Religion in Art series is one of my favorite activities during the year; it's popular and always well attended. The Prophets is our fourth series; we began with Christ's Journey to the Cross, followed by Women in the Bible, and The Evangelists. With each series I continue to be encouraged and impressed by the caliber of questions asked, and depth of knowledge and understanding the sessions engender.”
