Keep checking the calendar for future events or sign up for our e-newsletter here>>>> . Check the calendar for upcoming eventsField Trip: “IN THE BEGINNING: BIBLES BEFORE THE YEAR 1000” Sunday, December 10,
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery 1050 Independence Avenue, SW (Smithsonian METRO)
This landmark exhibition will present over 70 of the earliest biblical artifacts in existence—many on display for the first time in the United States . The Sackler Gallery will be the only venue for the exhibition.
"In The Beginning" presents the physical evidence of the Bible's evolution, assembled for the first time. It shows how the Bible mirrors successive ages and shapes societies by charting its initial fluidity, attempts to define its contents, and its dissemination through the use of local languages, scripts and ornament.
Visitors to the exhibition will begin to understand what motivated those who lovingly made such books, how Bibles were used in public worship and how the book was transformed from the simple manual of early Christian communities to a symbol of enduring faith.
Highlights of the exhibition include:
We will leave the church for Vienna Metro no later than 1 pm. Admission to the Gallery is free. A sign up sheet is located by the front door. For more information, please see Tracey or email her at crkscrw@msn.com .
