Christian Ethics and World Views
Adult Sunday School
Winter 2008

The goal of these complimentary classes is "to give some basic interpretive and theological tools for discernment and living decidedly Christian in this fallen world... and to be a prophetic witness for God's kingdom in our age." -- Dr. Paul Hoehner

The instructors are Dr. Paul Hoehner and Pastor Doug Warren who will be co-teaching these classes over the winter and early spring. Dr. Paul Hoehner has unique qualifications being both a practicing anesthesiologist specializing in open-heart, thoracic, and transplant surgery and a Doctoral Candidate working towards a PhD in theological ethics. Pastor Doug Warren carries both the theological background and the experience necessary to help people work through the practical details of living including those life and death issues both at the beginning and end of life which cause might pain and struggle.
