A Word from the Clergy
by the Reverend Meredith E. Ward,
Interim Associate Rector
This week we wrapped up our series called “How Can We Know the Way?” on the practice of theological reflection. Over the course of four weeks, we explored different ways to reflect on our lived experiences, both individually and communally. In the process, the group had some enlightening revelations and deeply thoughtful conversations.

Tuesdays, September 14-October 5, 6:30-8 pm
The Reverend Deacon John Wirenius introduces the Anglo-Catholic movement and outlines its growth over the past two centuries. Our exploration of the movement will begin with a discussion of John Henry Newman’s role in the first Oxford Movement, move onto reaction to the Movement by selective legal enforcement of the rubrics against Anglo-Catholic clergy, discuss the cultural impact of Anglo-Catholicism, and conclude with the second Oxford Movement, following it into the Post World War I spiritual malaise. Register here.

Thursdays, September 16-October 21, 6:30-8 pm
Professor Larry Welborn of Fordham University returns to St. Bart's to explore the sayings of Jesus we don't know well: both the sayings of Jesus found in documents discovered over the past century and the sayings of Jesus found in the Bible whose truth we haven't yet fully contemplated. Each session will focus on an aphorism or parable using a synopsis that shows all the versions, including those found in recently discovered gospels. Register here.

We need a few strong volunteers to help clear out store rooms. It involves lifting cases of canned food and other heavy materials, and pushing carts to a disposal area. If you're looking for some exercise and are free Saturday, consider coming any time between 9 am and 1 pm. You don't have to stay for the whole time, and snacks and drinks will be served! If you'd like to volunteer, send an email to volunteer@crossroadsnyc.org and note when you can come. Volunteer cooks are still needed for our breakfast program. Please register on the portal.

In partnership with the NYS Department of Health Vaccine Team, Crossroads has now scheduled a 3rd vaccine clinic at Crossroads! Shots will be administered on Wednesday, September 1 from 4-6 pm. The Team will bring the J&J vaccine, since it will be easier for our guest population to have a “one and done” vaccine option. Many thanks to Crossroads and its partners for helping to protect vulnerable populations in NYC.
