Atheists and Christians Together?

This article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune reporting on Trinity United Methodist Church in Minneapolis joining forces with an organization called Minnesota Atheists to host a Bible Study was enough to rouse me from blog hibernation.

On one hand, I’m hopeful anytime God’s word is read due to the power inherent in it. On the other, it’s hard to be optimistic about a study that will “focus on the Bible's historical and cultural context” as opposed to discerning its meaning and significance.

Thoughts anyone?
