What The Heck Is Wrong With Religions These Days?!

That was the focus of this series of Sunday morning adult Christian formation classes held in the Chapel starting Sunday, September 17, 2006 from around 9:40 to 10:15 am.    "So many religious people from so many religious traditions in so many parts of the world seem to be acting extreme recently.
