Diana Butler Bass Book Study Begins January 19
January 12, 2016
On February 18, Trinity Cathedral Insights presents Diana Butler Bass, the author of nine books on American religion, including Christianity After Religion, Christianity for the Rest of Us, and A people's History of Christianity. She holds a Ph.D. in religious studies from Duke University, has taught at the college and graduate level, and is currently an independent scholar. She was a columnist for The New York Times and writes for The Huffington Post and The Washington Post on issues of religion, spirituality, and culture.
Every year, more Americans leave organized religion behind as people disaffiliate and the nation becomes more religiously diverse. Grounded explores this cultural turn as Bass unpacks how people are finding new spiritual ground through a God who resides in the world with us - in the soil, the water, the sky, in our homes and neighborhoods, and in the global commons. People are connecting with God through the environment in which we live. Grounded guides readers through our contemporary spiritual habitat by paying attention to the ways in which people experience a God who animates creation and community.
The book study is free and begins on January 19 for four weeks. More information and sign up can be found here. It is led by The Rev. Dr. Laurel Arthur Burton in Morrison Hall. There are two studies available: Brown Bag discussion at 12:00 or Happy Hour at 5:30. Childcare is available at 5:30 with advanced reservations.
The book, Grounded, is available at Wordsworth Books.
Please note: The final study on February 9 will be a combined group, meeting at noon. This is to enable all to attend the Mardi Gras celebration that evening in Chancellor's Hall!
P.R.A.Y. Program to be Offered for Children in Grades 1-3
January 12, 2016
This winter, Greg Albert will lead the God and Me curriculum, as part of the P.R.A.Y. Program for children in grades 1-3. This curriculum is designed to help children become best friends with Jesus and tell their story of “God and Me” together. Children will tell their story of “God and Me” by starting with the creation story. Children will learn that God is their Creator and that God calls them by name, and they will give praise to God. Their story will continue as they learn of God’s love through Jesus. As they tell parallel stories of their own birth and the birth of Jesus, they will proclaim that Jesus was born to be their Savior. Their story will grow as children learn that God wants them to pray. Children will be encouraged to talk and listen to God as they share from their heart. Their story of “God and Me” will wrap up with the parable of the lost sheep. As children learn to lean on God as their Good Shepherd, they will be challenged to reach out and be “good shepherds” to those around them.
For more information on this program, and to sign up your child, please click here or call the church office at (501) 372-0294.
