Adult Religious Education Classes

Cakes for the Queen of Heaven

A UU course in feminist theology, Cakes for the Queen of Heaven, is being organized for this spring. (Check back for the start date.)

This course, created by UU Women and Religion (www.uuwr.org), is designed for adults but youth fifteen and older are welcome.

The first part, “In Ancient Times” has five sessions on pre-patriarchal goddesses in the Middle East and Europe in prehistoric and early historical times. The second part, “On the Threshold”, continues with six sessions on feminine images and voices in Judaism and Christianity. Each session is two hours.

The tentative plan is hold the class on the first and third Sunday afternoons. Cindy Reiffen, who has taught the course at other UU churches, will facilitate the sessions.  For more information or to sign up, contact Cindy Reiffen (or email the church at office@uuhagerstownmd.org. Include Cindy’s name  in the email text so our church secretary knows to forward it to her.)
