On December 3rd, 10th and 17th, Scott Kennedy will lead a reading/discussion group based on William Stringfellow’s book, “An Ethic for Christians and Other Aliens in a Strange Land,” held at Scott’s home, 404 King St., Santa Cruz. Stringfellow was an attorney and prominent Episcopalian layman and theologian and author of more than a dozen books. Considered to be among a handful of prophetic voices emerging from the U.S., he spoke eloquently of the “principalities and powers” as understood in the context of American empire and advocated a lifestyle of Biblical resistance to systemic racism, poverty and militarism. Stringfellow demonstrated a remarkable capacity for combining thoroughgoing, biblical perspective with unflinching social criticism. The book is available at the Resource Center for Nonviolence or online at www.wipfandstock.com. A sliding scale donation of $5-$20 is suggested for each session. Preregistration is requested: 831-423-1626 X107 or kenncruz@pacbell.net. People are welcome to attend one or all three sessions.
