The Rector’s Forum – Saint Michael Chapel
The Theme for the Rector’s Forum this year is Finding Ourselves in the Bible. Scripture is one of the pillars of who we are as Episcopalians. How can we approach this library of books on God’s relationship with creation to make its stories current and relevant today? How are the stories of the Bible universally true? Where does our life meet the words of scripture? Click here to listen to recordings from this class.
Family Living Class –Parish Hall
This class is a forum for developing and deepening friendships, strengthening marriages and relationships, learning healthy parenting skills, and continuing our spiritual growth. Speakers lead presentations and class discussion on parenting and living life together from a faith perspective. The class is organized so that class members can sit at tables with each other, getting to know one another better while discussing the topic of the day.
The World’s Religions– Parlor
Using Huston Smith’s classic book The World’s Religions, along with the Bill Moyer interviews of Smith on each major religion, Kevin Huddleston leads the class on an odyssey of discovery about the basics of each of the major religions, and how they are both similar to and different from our Christian faith.
Parents of Teens – Coke Activities Room
Through conversations with clergy, staff and guest speakers, parents of teens can hear insights into this critical development stage for our youth: physical, mental, and spiritual. Navigating the world of their increasing need for independence, self-governance and spiritual awareness, young people seek the guidance of mentors in faith. This primary role belongs to the parents. This class helps in developing an understanding of this stage of life and practicing the communication skills to nurture a relationship with our youth.
20.30: A Class for Young Adults – Chapel Conference Room
Jemonde Taylor and guest speakers provide a focal point for young adults to gather, make friends, and explore the relevance of the Christian faith in contemporary lives and culture. The class has both a deeply spiritual and widely pragmatic offering within which participants can reflect on decisions they have to make daily.
A NEW CLASS: Pressure Points: Faith and Society - ESD Library
Utilizing the expertise of seminary and university faculty, this combination presentation/discussion class engages participants in dialogue about the ethical and pragmatic decisions we make as citizens and Christians on a daily basis. In the fall, the theme is “Civility: moving from monologue to dialogue”. The fall classes will be mostly led by visiting faculty from the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin.
