Bat Kol is an organization open to
everyone interested in learning more
about religion and sharing what they
learn.
Sandra Clark of Brussels first
became involved in Bat Kol in 2001.
She has shared what she has learned
through discussion with various
groups, but is now looking at a more
personal way of studying.
"I would like to start what is called
Havrutah. It would be a small group
of two or three talking about what
we are reading."
It would be similar to what Jews
do. said Clark, which is ,to take a
story in the Torah, or first five books
of the Old Testament, and through
discussion "make a picture".
Such an open approach is very
much part of Bat Kol. "Sister
Maurina Fritz. a professor of
religious studies now living in Israel
is a founder of Bat Kol. She has been
working for years to try and teach
people, then get them to go out and
spread the word. Not in a church
dogma way, but through getting
together and talking."
Clark stresses that anyone
interested in being part of her group
need not be concerned that it is
going to be "super scholarly".
"It is more for discussion. No
thought is silly if it's something
you're really seeing. It's a kind of
Sharing."
Clark said people tend to be
frightened of Bible study feeling that
they perhaps don't know enough to
take part in a well-rounded
discussion.
"This is not going to, be a great
philisophical university discussion.
It's not going to be degree material.
It's just seeing what we get out of
what we read."
She also notes that Bat Kol is not
a religion. "It's learning more about
one's own religion and getting more
comfortable."
Clark said it could also be good
for anyone who may not be sure
anymore. 'If they're kind of cruising
along this could give them a shot in
Cathrine Campbell and Leona
Armstrong.
An executive meeting will be held
at the home of Lucy Hesse on
Monday, April 26 at 10 a.m. to make
out programs for next year.
Arrangements were made for the
Huron East district meeting on May
II at Melville Presbyterian
Church. Mrs. Knight is the voting
delegate and alternate is Mrs.
McLellan.
The casserole supper and euchre
will be held on April 29 at 6:30 p.m.
Proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer
Society. The next UFO Day will be
at the home of Lucy Hesse on
Monday, May 10 at I p.m.
the arm."
For her part. Clark has travelled
twice to Jerusalem to study with Bat
Kol. She returned from her second
trip this past November.
This is not expected of anyone
interested in taking part in her group
discussions. "We are not trying to
convince someone to come study.
Should someone want to they would
be high on the list of candidates
because Bat Kol would like me to
have someone here. But we're not
recruiting. "
Currently, she said, there the
number of applicants interested in
studying has risen so high that the
class size has had to be increased.
"If people want to take courses,
they have to feel you are going to
come back and share. It is what
Jesus said, to go out into the
world."
Anyone interested in speaking -
with Clark about forming a
discussion group can call 887-6843.
