Last planning meeting is Tues. August 19, 7:30pm at South Shore Baptist Church.
We are planning to have the first Bible Study this fall on September 9th also at South Shore Baptist Church. We will meet Tuesdays from that point forward. The book of Ephesians will be studied and we will use the Community Bible Study's materials to give some structure to the discussions that will follow our reading of the Scripture. I have received about 20 copies of the CBS materials and will offer them to all who attend.
Last meeting (July 29) we talked about some interesting issues. On the surface the issues of salvation and Baptism appear to be issues that divide Catholics and Evangelicals, yet after some discussion I think there was more similarity than we had guessed. We discussed the pope's formulation of ecumenism as shown below. Does it begin as he says with Baptism and is the goal full communion? This Catholic view was looked at and contrasted to Evangelical and Baptist views of Baptism and Salvation. Very interesting discussion. Topics that I'm sure will be discussed a lot this fall.
