WOODBURY - First Congregational Church of Woodbury and the Woodbury People of Faith presented "Back to the Garden: Legacies of Adam and Eve," a faith summit, on Sunday, April 30, at First Congregational Church, 214 Main St. South.
The Garden of Eden narrative is found in Christianity, Islam and Judaism. All three Abrahamic traditions wrestle with issues of authority, power and relationship with God; all three struggle with the implications of sin and the fall. Much human conflict and the sense of obedience to God begins in this primal story found in the Bible and the Quran.
Three distinguished Hartford Seminary professors took part in the summit.
Presenting were Abdullah Antepli, Imam, chaplaincy coordinator for Hartford Seminary; Kelton Cobb, professor of theology and ethics, and Yehezkel Landau, faculty associate in interfaith relations.
After the presentations, coffee and refreshments was served, followed by a question-and-answer session.
