Fretheim says creation is evolving and we have a part

The Rev. Dr. Terry Fretheim, longtime profession of the Old Testament and author on the creation, led the second Bible study of the assembly.  Fretheim said "creation is ongoing" and that it doesn't look the same that it did the seventh day of creation.

"The Cascades simply weren't there," he said.

He told his listeners that they have a role as creation evolves. He called for them to have the freedom to imagine, and the explore the edges of their faith.

"God will always hold you close and never let you go," he said.
