March 19th, March 26th, and April 2nd (no class on March 5th). It is also possible to join the class via Zoom, but you will need to join the meeting live. The church office will send out a recurring Zoom invitation to participants by February 24th.

Steven Charleston is the former Episcopal Bishop of Alaska, served as President and Dean of the Episcopal Divinity

School, and is a member of the Choctaw Nation. “My purpose here is to lift up the kiva as a metaphor for our contemporary spiritual situation… It is a symbol of our shared future. It tells us that if we are in a time of darkness, we need not be afraid of it, because it is only the beginning for us… The kiva tells us that we have been through this process of birth and rebirth more than once.”

(From the Introduction, p. 3)
