ONLINE LUNCH & LEARN RESUMESWe return in this new academic year to a schedule of short courses starting in October. Our format follows our established pattern: three or four consecutive Thursdays, 12 Noon – 1 pm, via Zoom.
We have repeatedly offered our program with an eye toward the seasons of the Church Year. Some of our courses will keep to that rhythm. But because this is an Election Year, and because our Episcopal Church engaged in major churchy political activity at its tri-annual Convention in early summer, we joined with our Episcopal Church Law team to provide three sessions entitled “Breaking News: Episcopal Church Polity Update.” Learn about legislative changes in our Constitution and Canons that will impact our worship, governance, and ministries over the next few years. Register now for a new Lunch & Learn series on The Bible and Creation!“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it,” says the Psalmist (24:1). Likewise, St Paul reminds us, “God made the world and everything in it” (Acts 17:24). Yet the words of the Bible seem to have fallen on deaf ears, especially in modern times, given the carelessness with which we treat Creation. Humanity has been entrusted with a unique role in God’s Creation. This Lunch & Learn looks to the Bible and Creation in four steps to elucidate God’s will for the world and for us now and at the end of time. All sessions meet via Zoom from 12 Noon – 1 pm.
October 31: The making of the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1 & 2).
