Deanery Educational Opportunities

The Durham-Northumberland Deanery Christian Education Team is sponsoring several educational opportunities this Fall, some on Zoom teleconferencing, others in-person.

Second Saturday Conversations

Group Reflections on “Second Saturday Conversations”.
Join a Zoom group on the second Tuesday evening of each month (starting in September) to reflect on the previous “Second Saturday Conversation” (on Zoom) hosted by The Rev.Marianne Borg, widow of Marcus Borg.
To see what the Second Saturday Conversations are all about, google “The Marcus Borg J. Foundation” and watch one of the past videos.
The Marcus J. Borg Foundation is committed to exploring a realistic and meaningful articulation of Christianity for the 21st. Century, building upon the historical and theological research and teachings of Marcus J. Borg and others.
