- English Spirituality (Conference Room) - We will survey the development, from the Middle Ages to the present, of approaches to our relationship with God that we might see as distinctively English. Frequently, we will refer to writings of and about representative figures in each historical era. Along the way, we will note how we Episcopalians have derived much from the spiritual outlook and practices of English Christians through the centuries.
-
A Study of the First Epistle of St. John (Iona Room) - Are you interested in knowing more about what is meant by being "born again," the origin of "God is love," or the identity of the "antichrist"? These are some of the topics we'll be discussing during a six-week study of the First Epistle of St. John. Facilitated by George Harper.
