Wednesday Night in the Book Store Class Descriptions for Fall 2010
The Writings of Kathleen Norris: A Conversation Facilitated by Canon Beth Knowlton
We are eagerly anticipating the October 23rd spirituality conference that this year will feature well known spirituality writer Kathleen Norris. Kathleen Norris is the award-winning poet, writer, and author of The New York Times bestsellers The Cloister Walk, Dakota: A Spiritual Geography, Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith, and The Virgin of Bennington. Exploring the spiritual life, her work is at once intimate and historical, rich in poetry and meditations, brimming with exasperation and reverence, deeply grounded in both nature and spirit, sometimes funny, and often provocative. Canon Knowlton will read excerpts from Kathleen Norris’ writings and lead a conversation around how our spiritual lives can be enriched by reflecting on our everyday experience of God’s presence. Plan to join us for the all day conference in October.
Spiritual Direction: What Is It? Presented by The Rev. Deacon Kathryn D. Holman
What is spiritual direction? Who needs it? What are the benefits? How do I find a spiritual director? Is it grounded in our Christian history? Is it scriptural? How will it enhance my worship experience?
These are all questions that I will be answering for those who want to know more about the practice of spiritual direction. We will begin by defining the term “spirituality” and discuss the difference between “spirituality” and “religion”. I will also discuss the differences between pastoral care, psychotherapy, and spiritual direction. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of spiritual direction and spiritual formation in our Church’s history and their implications in our present day lives. I’ll also be talking about where to look for a qualified spiritual director and how to go about finding someone who will best suit your needs.
Uppity Women of the Bible Facilitated by The Rev. Bill Harkins
What was the nature of the vulnerability of widows and strangers in biblical times? What really happened on the threshing room floor in the book of Ruth? Who wrote the Song of Songs? How did the beautiful and courageous Esther avert disaster for her people? How did Judith take things into her own hands—including the head of a brutal warrior chief? What tragic-comic themes of loyalty, courage, poverty, and seduction might we find in such books as Ruth, Song of Songs, Esther, and Judith? What difference might these stories make in our lives today?
These “Uppity Women” of the bible, the subjects of the new four-volume DVD series from the Living the Questions curriculum, provide a deeply engaging set of themes worthy of the best of Shakespeare, poetry, and literature! The series features Dr. Lisa Wolfe, a Hebrew Bible professor, who leads us in lively, thoughtful discussions, and leaves the rest up to us! Join us, won’t you, as the Living the Questions tradition continues in its third year at the Cathedral of St. Philip. The class is open to all regardless of prior attendance, and participants may attend as they are able through the fall. All you need bring is an inquiring mind, a sense of humor and an interest in deeper understanding of these often misunderstood Biblical women.
