Loving the Questions
What do we mean when we say “Christ is King”? Our whole church calendar builds to the feast of Christ the King, which falls on November 22 this year. But how does our understanding of kingship relate to the bible’s images of kings? If Christ is king, how do we relate to other governing authorities? And what kind of kingship are we hoping for, anyway? We’ll explore these questions at 9:30 am on Saturday, November 21. Grab a cup of coffee and join us!
Trinity’s “Loving the Questions” series takes place more-or-less monthly on Saturday mornings. These conversations typically last around 90 minutes and include both teaching and discussion. Past topics have included Holy Eucharist, salvation, and Anglican history.
Trinity Reads
After a thoughtful discussion of November’s book, Adam Hamilton’s Christianity and World Religions, we’re moving on towards something more seasonal. Our new book is Light of the World: A Beginner’s Guide to Advent, by noted religious scholar Amy-Jill Levine. For beginners and long-term worshippers alike, this now-classic “guide” explores the Bible stories surrounding Jesus’s birth, exploring their cultural, historical, and theological contexts. We’ll meet to discuss it at 7pm on Tuesday, December 1.
In general, we meet monthly in the Parish Hall, usually on a Tuesday evening. We typically read each book over two months. Past reads have included Rachel Held Evans' Wholehearted Faith, Richard Rohr's Things Hidden, Sara Miles's Take This Bread, and Gregory Boyle's Barking to the Choir.
