Fear of the Other: No Fear in Love || Lenten Study

  • Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church 900 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20001 United States (map)

Starting on Monday, February 23, you are invited to join the Monday Night Book Study for an online, 6-week study exploring Fear of the Other: No Fear in Love by Bishop Will Willimon. Rooted in the promise of 1 John that “perfect love casts out fear,” this study examines how fear distorts our common life and how the gospel calls us to respond with courageous, Christ-shaped love. Drawing on Scripture and Wesleyan theology, participants will wrestle with Jesus’ command to love our enemies, pray for those who oppose us, and see our adversaries as persons created and loved by God. In a polarized world, this study invites us to confront fear not with withdrawal or hostility, but with the risky, transforming love of Christ. Please contact Minister Lee for more information or the Zoom link.
