2017 Lenten Weekend at St. George’s

January 31, 2017 by St. George's Leave a Comment

“Being Passionately Christian and Becoming Compassionately Interfaith”

As St. George’s continues to explore the dynamic of being a compassionate community and sharing this with our interfaith neighbors, we have invited a special guest speaker for our Lenten Weekend program.The Rev. Dr. Sathianathan (“Sathi”) Clarke, current chair of World Christianity at Wesley Theological Seminary, is a world-renowned lecturer on global Christianity and interreligious dialogue. We are thrilled to have this award-winning teacher and scholar in our midst for a three-part program learning how being fully in touch with our Christian faith makes us better able to be peacemakers and life-bearers in community with people of all faiths.

Clarke-SathiCentered in Prayer
Saturday, March 4, 2017
4- 6 p.m. Presentation in the Nave

We’ll explore how we can realize depth in Christian prayer by gleaning from the breadth of other religious traditions. A potluck supper will follow in Sydnor Hall from 6 to 8 p.m.

Cultivated for Peace
Sunday, March 5, 2017
10-11 a.m. Presentation in Sydnor Hall

We’ll examine three dimensions of being “Blessed Peacemakers” that come from Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity. Dr. Clarke will also preach at the 11:15 a.m. service.

Covenanted Toward Abundant Life
Sunday, March 5, 2017
2:30-4 p.m. Presentation in the Nave

We’ll focus on how we might reimagine Christian mission for abundant life in our consecrated interreligious environment.

All events are open to the general public. You do NOT have to be a member of St. George’s to attend.

We suggest a donation of $25 per person for the weekend; this helps cover the expenses of bringing outstanding writers, teachers and thought leaders to you. We want our speakers to be accessible to all, and we know that some people will be able to donate more than $25, and others less. There is no cost for students.  Childcare will be provided if there is a sufficient need.
