Adult Christian Formation
All classes meet at 9:30 am in room M-110 unless otherwise noted.
9/22, 29 & 10/6:
We are excited to host Dr. Kyle Lambelet, currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Emory University's Candler School of Theology who specializes in teaching on religion and the ethics of nonviolence, organizing and social change. He recently completed his Ph.D. at the University of Notre Dame in the joint program of the Department of Theology and Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. Dr. Lambelet will be leading us in the below discussion:
Conflict as Communion
Conflict is a dirty word. In our homes, in our church, and in our society we often associate conflict with sin, brokenness, and failure. What does conflict have to do with communion? In this three-week adult education series Dr. Kyle Lambelet, a faculty member at Emory's Candler School of Theology, will explore how we understand conflict theologically: not merely as sin or evidence of our finitude, but as the foundation of communion. Beginning with a Trinitarian account of unity in difference, what theologians call perichoresis, we will explore the goodness of conflict theologically and scripturally as well as build skills for engaging conflict in healthy ways.

News from the Diocesan Refugee Adovacy Consortium
Did you know that the federal government is trying to resettle zero (effective rate) refugees in 2020? We at St Bede's have many immigrants in our midst every Sunday in both the morning and the afternoon services. Refugees flee war, famine, political instability and they just have to cross a border to become a refugee; only about 1% ever are resettled. The vast majority languish in refugee camps. To be in solidarity with them is part of our work for peace and justice. The historical average has been 95,000 a quota that is developed by the US congressional judiciary committee and the state department. The number has dropped to about 30,000 in fiscal year 2019. That number could go to zero next year.
Show your solidarity for refugees! The newly formed Diocesan Refugee Advocacy Consortium is asking for your support to make the gospel mandate to welcome the stranger known. Here are three ways you can show support.
1. Complete 3 postcards on the large table in the commons that will go to Senators Isaakson and Purdue and your US Congressional Rep. just complete your full name, complete address, and signature. Drop it in the basket and cards will be address to both senators and your US rep
2. Drop by Holy Trinity at 515 East Ponce de Leon on September 26th anytime between 11:30 and 1:30 for a free lunch and a chance to call your US Senators and US Representative.
3. Participate in Rally for Resettlement on Saturday, September 2ith from 2 pm to 4 pm at Clarkston International Bible Church. See flier below.

Please join Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, Bishop Robert Wright,
and the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Atlanta for
ReviveATL: Love in Action
an Episcopal Church Revival
January 22, 2020 from 6-8 p.m.
Atlanta University Center
|
This past year, Presiding Bishop Curry has urged people of faith to follow The Way of Love, fostering a community of people who follow Jesus by forming loving, liberating and life-giving relationships with God, their neighbors, and the environment.
This Way of Love is reflected by the Diocese of Atlanta's purpose statement:
We challenge ourselves and the world to love like Jesus as we worship joyfully, serve compassionately, and grow spiritually.
What does Love in Action look like in a world that is hurting? ReviveATL invites us to live out our call to serve Jesus and love as he loves the unwelcome, the disenfranchised, the lost, and the found.
All are welcome. Come experience Love in Action.
Details: Prior to the Revival, food trucks will be available from 4:30-6 p.m. to allow for early arrivals. A more detailed program will be released this fall.
Early bird registration before Nov. 1 includes guaranteed seating. Registration will be opening soon.
