Our Special Guest - Rev. Ben Hitzfeld 
Pastor, First Christian Church, Manhattan, KS 
​
This is our 10th episode of Synoptic Roots. Tonight, our guest is the Rev. Ben Hitzfeld. He’s the pastor of the First Christian Church in Manhattan Kansas. We are talking with him about how his views of Christianity have changed over the years, his diverse experiences with Christian traditions, and how we all live in the Spirit in different ways. We are also talking about building margin into life connecting with spiritual mentors
Synoptic Roots is a non-profit project designed to promote a better understanding of Christ through open and honest conversations. Just as Jesus did long ago with guests, friends, and food, we explore spirituality, social engagement, community, and what it truly means to "love your neighbor."

The Four Legs of Our Table act as the foundation of our project.  
Our Mission: To be a catalyst for growth, understanding and change by providing a window into a deep thinking, non-judgmental, loving, life-giving, life-affirming, and socially courageous world of Christ. 
Synoptic
(Latin: synopticus; Greek: συνοπτικός, translit. synoptikós) comes via Latin from the Greek σύνοψις, synopsis, i.e. "(a) seeing all together, synopsis"; the sense of the word in English is a modern one. It's the term specifically applied to the three gospels [Mathew, Mark and Luke] of "giving an account of the events from the same point of view or under the same general aspect." ​
The Synoptic Roots Project is a supported by a grant from the Christian Church in Kansas (Disciples of Christ)
