For a Lenten Study this year I want to invite you all to share in a journey with Scripture that continues a theme of engaging the Bible in order to be transformed into the image and likeness of God.

Fr. Richard Rohr OFM, of the Center for Action and Contemplation has put together a series of meditations for Lent focusing on ‘coming into one’s own’ in God.

Here is a link to the book and a description of the process

We will meet on Wednesday nights at beginning on Ash Wednesday following the evening service.  Subsequent meetings will be on Wednesday nights at 7 pm in either the Tait or Sickles Rooms.

I would also consider facilitating a Saturday morning group if there is enough interest in doing two groups.  

If you’re interested, please let me know ASAP.  If you are ready to commit to the Wednesday group please let me know, we can save on shipping if we order all of the books together.

Peace and Good,
The Rev. Warren Hicks

This came to my attention this morning and I pass along this opportunity to you as well.

--Padre Warren

 Good morning,    

We want to invite you to attend an upcoming lecture at the College of the Holy Cross by Eliza Griswold titled "Along the Boundary of Faiths: Christianity and Islam on the Tenth Parallel" on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 4:30 p.m. in the Rehm Library, Smith Hall.     

  An award-winning investigative journalist and poet, Griswold spent much of the past seven years traveling in Africa and Asia between the equator and the line of latitude 700 miles to the north, known as the tenth parallel. It is here, far from the Middle East, where more than half of the world’s two billion Christians live along with half of the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims.  In her book, The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam, Griswold tells the 1,500-year-old story of how Christianity and Islam have come to intersect and interact and finds that the most important forces shaping the future of the world’s religions are those contests unfolding within them, not between them.    

  Griswold is the daughter of Frank Griswold, former presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. She is a senior fellow at the New America Foundation. Her talk is free and open to the public. You may read more about the event here: http://news.holycross.edu/blog/2012/01/24/holy-cross-lecture-to-explore-cradle-of-christian-muslim-relations/ and for directions to Rehm Library, please visit http://www.holycross.edu/directions/sites.html .    

Please let me know if you would like additional information.     

 Sincerely,
