Current Adult Learning Offerings include Spirituality of Discipleship with Father Ben | begins on September 12 Over the course of the Fall, participants will read short works about what it means to follow Christ and live as faithful disciples. Our conversations will be guided by writings from contemporary authors such as Rowan Williams, Barbara Brown Taylor, Richard Rohr, and Sarah Coakley. Through readings and discussion we will discern where we are called at this stage of our lives. Holy Land Pilgrimage Study Group | planning session on September 12 As part of our 100th year celebration, Trinity is hosting a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In preparation for the trip, adult learners will choose book(s) for discussion. Book ideas include: The Lemon Tree, by Sandy Tolan; Jerusalem, One City, Three Faiths, by Karen Armstrong; and The Last Week by John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg. This group is open to anyone interested; you don't have to be signed up for the pilgrimage. Race & Reconciliation Study Group: The Cross and the Lynching Tree, by James H. Cone | begins September 19 Led by leaders of the Race & Reconciliation Team at Trinity, we'll read and discuss James H. Cone's book chapter by chapter, and explore contemporary meditations (song, visual art, poetry, etc.) responding to the"lethal oppression experienced by African Americans that has been formative for both the faith and civic posture of the black community for a very long time." (Stephen G. Ray Jr., The Cross and the Lynching Tree, The Christian Century, January 30, 2012 ) Call the office to inquire about buying the book. Back to the Basics Classes with Mother Julia | begins in October A series of 6-week classes to introduce and re-introduce you to our faith life as christians, and how community life in church feeds our inner call for more spirituality in a demanding world . Topics include: how to read the bible, Anglicanism and the Episcopal Church, life at Trinity, and more.
Discipleship Groups at Trinity In October 2017, Father Ben introduced the idea of Discipleship Groups to Trinity Adult Learners. Patterned after the Discipleship Group model created by the Restoration Project (www.therestorationproject.net), Trinity Discipleship Groups started forming in January 2018 and are grounded in intentional practices of liturgy, prayer, and fellowship. Since then, multiple small groups have evolved and continue to meet. The frequency and structure of each group is defined by the individuals within each group. Examples include groups that meet
in homes for a shared meal; hybrid Discipleship Group and Book Group; and a group discerning if it will divide into two new groups to accommodate a better small group experience. The learning so far: Discipleship Groups are life-giving intentional groups that generate a loving community of parishioners caring for the spiritual and personal growth of each member.
