“God has created an amazing *tapestry from the threads of the world's different cultures. The only blemishes are in the eyes that fail to admire its beauty.” ~ Anonymous 

The Book of Luke is full of compassion, inclusion, and stories that speak to many cultures—perfect for a multicultural lens.

Luke was a Doctor, a **meticulous historian and a friend of the apostle Paul. But most of all, he was an outsider and foreigner to the Jewish faith. Luke wrote his book for the other cultures outside the Jewish faith. Come and join us as we begin a new study on the book of Luke and how it speaks to cultures around the world.

This class is suitable for English levels of Lower Intermediate and above. We will address vocabulary, reading, speaking and listening skills. We will discuss how we can apply what we learn to our everyday lives in today’s culture.
