In a time when we are divided in so many ways, Calling Out from the Depths will explore the beliefs we share in common and the ways we can grow in faith and knowledge as beloved children of One God.
Jewish and Christian scholars, musicians, poets, and visual artists have created countless interpretations of these ancient texts. However, there have been far fewer opportunities for members of these two communities (and others) to explore these ancient poetic texts as fellow spiritual seekers. What do we share in common? Where do we differ? How might reading these sources with people with different religious or ideological commitments impact our relationship with these sacred sources?
This 7-session study will be team-taught by Dr. Andrew R. Davis, Professor of Old Testament at the Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry, and Rabbi Or Rose, founding Director of the Hebrew College Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership.
Thursday Evenings from 7:00-8:30pm – the first three sessions will be held at St. John the Evangelist Church, and the remaining four sessions will be at Temple Beth Elohim:
January 8, January 15, January 22 at St. John the Evangelist Church (9 Glen Rd. Wellesley)
January 29, February 5, February 12, February 19 at Temple Beth Elohim (10 Bethel Rd. Wellesley)

Calling Out From the Depths is part of a larger project funded by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Confraternity of Christian Doctrine awarded to the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry and the Miller Center of Hebrew College to develop a curriculum for a course in Jewish-Christian learning based on the Psalms for use in parishes and synagogues.
