​Upcoming Events



Lunch & Learn Spring 2023

Join us on four Thursdays in June as we consider

St. Mark’s Gospel:  Authority! Power! Action! Its Structure is its Genius
Picture
Picture
In this seminar, we will explore together the genius of this Gospel and its overall impact by looking at the narrative technique and literary forms that shape its stunning effect. Included in the presentation will be the performance of selected texts (Herod, the Olivet Discourse, fatal conflicts, and more) helping to bring its structure and literary form into focus.

Each course meets for one hour at lunch time on one weekday over a three- or four-week period. Stay tuned for planned topics this Fall.  Be sure to check back frequently.   

SAFE CHURCH UPDATE

All in-person Safe Church dates are cancelled until further notice. 


Self-Study Course in Episcopal Church Law

We are excited to announce the Episcopal Church Law Self-Study Course.  In a web-based multimedia format, you will be introduced to the structures and laws (canons) which make up the unique “polity” of the Episcopal Church.  

In addition, we will consider the intersection of “church law,” as described in the constitutions and canons of the General Convention and the Diocese of Long Island, with the varieties of secular law. 

This new format allows you to take the course at your own pace on your own schedule.  This course is designed for clergy and lay leaders.

Registration is required and is now open!
