Parish Forums
We invite you to explore our shared faith through Parish Forums throughout the year. On Sundays at 10 a.m. we meet in the Elizabethan Room.
Resurrection, Part 1
Sun., Apr. 7
Resurrection, Part 1: The Resurrection of Christ—a conversation. We have just celebrated the Resurrection of Christ, but what do we take it to mean, and what importance does it have for us? This will not be a lecture, but rather a conversation.
Resurrection, Part 2
Sun., Apr. 14
The Resurrection of Christ makes possible the resurrection of the dead–meaning all of us. But what do we take this to mean, and what importance does it have for us? This will not be a lecture, but once again a conversation.
The Christology of the Gospels
Sun., Apr. 21
The Christology of the Gospels, with a focus on Mark and some of its contemporary implications. Theology is always both timeless and timely. How the theology of Christ found in the Gospel of Mark speaks to the modern world will be a key issue in this forum.
Facilitator: Miguel Díaz
A Report on the Chiapas Trip
Sun., Apr. 28
For years Atonement has been connected to two congregations in Chiapas, Mexico, through our diocese companionship. Our Outreach Ministry has sponsored a food pantry and other activities in these parishes, and representatives of our parish have gone to Chiapas to bear witness to our connection. On their return, they will report to us on what they have seen and heard.
Sponsored by the Outreach Guild
