Faith & Practice
God Wants More Than a Coffee Cup and a Dinner Party!
Please join us this Sunday, October 28 for Faith and Practice. The 2040 Committee, as part of our efforts to consider leading thought leaders, is hosting
Beth Newman to discuss hospitality in relation to our faith and worship. Beth is a Professor of Theology and Ethics at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA. Her book,
Untamed Hospitality - Welcoming God and Other Strangers was the inspiration for inviting her. The book is a cultural and theological look at hospitality, not as a superficial commodity that can be bought to throw a dinner party, but within God's story, as displayed most fully in Jesus Christ.
This is guaranteed to be a thought-provoking discussion which we hope you all can join and benefit from. Beth will be visiting our parish for a few days. If you have an interest in spending time with her please feel free to reach out to Molly Hufton or Peter Macey.
