Upcoming Engage! sessions:
Engage! Do Not Be Afraid book study series – Wednesdays, Dec. 11 and 18, 6:30 p.m. – This Advent, join us in reading and discussing Do Not Be Afraid: The Joy of Waiting in a Time of Fear by Rachel Mann. Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, writes: “In this luminous and insightful book, Rachel Mann… reminds us that, in a world where many use their financial and social capital to avoid – as much as possible! – the boredoms and frustrations generated by waiting, there is glory to be found in waiting for the Lord and seeking hope in the good news of Jesus Christ. And what better time to attend to this good news than during this great season of watching and waiting, Advent?” We’ll also discuss the book at our Advent Sunday Forums on Dec. 8 and 22.
Engage! Poetry Unbound: Conflict and the Human Condition – Wednesdays, January 8, 22, 29, Feb 5, 12, 19, 26, 6:30 p.m. – Throughout the Epiphany season, join Gabe in listening and responding to a mini-series by Pádraig Ó Tuama, host of the podcast Poetry Unbound. This seven-part series focuses on poems that have something to show us about conflict, peace-making, and the human condition. On Wednesday evenings, we’ll listen to a short podcast together (10-12 minutes), then respond using questions and other prompts to help us make insightful connections to our faith and life.
Engage! The Heavenly Jerusalem Brought to Earth – Wednesday, January 15, 6:30 p.m. – Our own Norman Pendergraft, chair emeritus of the art department at NC Central University, will give a presentation on art and architecture that “makes use of light as an intentional help to spiritually transport the beholder towards the divine realm.” Along the way, we’ll come to a new understanding and appreciation of the Gothic and Neo-Gothic Styles.
