i.     How the view of time changes from culture to culture, particularly from East to West

ii.     How this difference might, and should, change our interpretation of stories in the Bible

iii.     Overarching cultural concepts

iv.     Jesus and His World

This meeting will begin at 3:00 p.m. on February 29. We will meet in Dr Dennis Campbell's new dental office at 430 McDowell Street, Asheville (2 blocks south of Little Pigs and across from Asheville High School).
