2010 Summer Gathering
Horizons' Study for 2010--2011
In the 2010-2011 Study Journeys through Revelation: Apocalyptic Hope for Today, author Barbara Rossing guides us on a journey to meet the crucified Lamb, Jesus. In a journey reminiscent of the ancient Israelites exodus from slavery, we are led from an unjust empire and its system of domination, through mythic battles and plagues, until, ultimately, we find ourselves in a renewed creation where God comes to live with us on earth. This hope-filled vision speaks to us in the midst of the urgent crises of our day. In a time when all of creation stands at a turning point, a Kairos moment, Revelation can help guide the choices we make each day as we seek to live into the renewal that God has for the whole world.
