Sunday, January 29 — Celtic Spirituality, Part 2: Reflections from John Philip Newell

Dean Scott Richardson will lead a discussion based on four video vignettes and additional writings by Celtic Spirituality Scholar, The Rev. Dr. John Philip Newell. Dr. Newell served as Warden of Iona Abbey and Warden for Spirituality for the Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth. He has written extensively on Celtic Spirituality and has led pilgrimages and workshops throughout the world.

 

Sunday, February 12 — Why Do They Do That?
One of the great mysteries to people upon first visiting an Episcopal service is why people stand, kneel, bow, or cross themselves at several times during the liturgy. But this confusion is not just shared by people new to the church. Even those of us who have grown up in the church and who know when to do these things (or at least think we know) are not sure why we do them. Come join Canon Brooks Mason, Verger Don Mitchell, and The Rev. Canon Allisyn Thomas as they unravel these great mysteries and answer your questions about our liturgy.
