Rabbi Martin Siegel will lead a weekly, four-part series 'Root and Tools of Discipleship' beginning April 23 at the Conference Center in Columbia.

Core understandings underlying our faith in and following of Jesus Christ are derived from our Old Testament heritage. A Hebraic approach can help us appreciate the thinking and worldview of the first disciples and offer an alternative to the Greek viewpoint, which has dominated much of Christian thought.

Rabbi Siegel is in a unique position ? having been immersed for several months in our Christian ministry context, specifically with a focus on discipleship and growing disciple-making churches ? to be able to speak to us about bringing Jewish spirituality to bear on what it means to live spiritually driven lives today.

Rabbi Siegel is offering a four-part course for clergy and laity: 'Roots and Tools of Discipleship' which will provide an outline of Hebraic Biblical thought, principles which can be derived from this approach, and tools for creating disciple-building churches.

Classes will be held at the Conference Center, 7178 Columbia Gateway Drive in Columbia, on four consecutive Mondays ? April 23, April 30, May 7 and May 14 from 7:30 to 9 p.m.

The cost for the entire seminar series is $25, payable on the first night of the seminar, with checks made out to the Baltimore-Washington Conference Treasurer.
