5 September, Presbyterian Heritage Center,
Sunday: Two Free Lectures of Little
Known Facts on the English Language Bible At 1:30 pm,
PHC Advisory Council member and Bible Collector Michael Morgan
will offer "The English Bible in Two Acts: Act One The Reformation
Generation: John Wycliffe through the King James Bible." This lecture
is an encore performance of his 27 June lecture. It explores the
little-known history of Bible translations and martyrs through the
first two centuries in the colorful history of the English Bible.
At 3 pm, Michael Morgan will present a new lecture about the 17th
– 19th century translations of the Bible. Entitled "Act Two
The Next Generation: In the Footsteps of the King," this lecture will
look at some of the unusual versions and private translations,
including the first Bible printed in America by a woman, as well as the
first complete Bible translation by a woman.
8 September, 5 PM, Upper Anderson, Christian Education
Committee begins fall study series.
"Invictus",
a movie to be presented, is an introduction to our three week
study of the Belhar Confession (1986), which had its roots in the
struggle against apartheid in Southern Africa. The Presbyterian
Church USA is currently studying the Belhar Confession to see if it
should be included in our Book of Confessions. The WNC presbytery
meeting in January will address this issue. Belhar’s relevance is
not confined to Southern Africa. It addresses three key issues of
concern to all churches: unity of the church and unity among all
people, reconciliation with church and society, and God’s justice.
"Invictus" is based on real-life events at the end of apartheid in
South Africa. It is directed by Clint Eastwood and stars
Oscar-nominated Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Snacks, including
sandwiches, fruit and drinks, will be provided. All are welcome
and encouraged to attend.
Congregational
meeting: All nominees for office were joyfully elected.
Congratulations.
