The Gnostic Gospels: Heresy or Alternative Orthodoxy?
Instructor: Beth Skinner
Day: Wednesday Format: Online
Dates: 7/10/2024 – 8/07/2024
Time: 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM
Are the Gnostic Gospels censored materials, containing secrets removed from the Christian bible? Or are they alternative views of the "Jesus movement" which grew following the accounts of the resurrection?  In this course we will explore the Gnostic Gospels and consider their differences from the notable "Four Gospels" of the Christian text as well as consider their distinctions from the traditional formations of the Christian religion.  

I Wanna Be Free
Instructor: Denise Raynor

Wed. Jul 10, 2024 to Aug 21, 2024
11:30AM - 1:00PM
Fugitive slaves were the first abolitionists, simply by the act of escaping. We will examine how generations of attempts at freedom by enslaved individuals led to the abolitionist movement and eventually influenced Lincoln to write the Emancipation Proclamation. Rather than being given to them, African Americans fought hard for their freedom. Click here to register.
