"Gender of God and Gender in God"  with Dr. William Yarchin, Professor of Biblical Studies, Azusa Pacific University
8:30-9:30 AM in Sacquety Hall, October 20th & 27th

Why do people refer to God in the masculine? Is it because God is male? What do the Bible and Christian theology have to say about God's gender? Join Dr. Yarchin in a two-week exploration into these and other questions centered on Gender of God and Gender in God. The forum will be open to everyone's own experiences of gender in their journey with God!

Be Transformed by Tanzania

Christian and Shannon Kassoff will be leading a transformational journey to Tanzania in East Africa April 25 - May 7, 2020. This trip will have 2 school projects. One of which will be the school that St. Wilfrid's helped start and has supported over the years. The focus of this trip will be traveling with intention to meet new people, experience another culture, and to stretch, learn and grow into new ways of being and engaging the world. This will not be a "churchy" trip but we will meet the Holy Spirit everywhere as she expresses herself around East Africa. We will have time for reflection and meditation and optional opportunities for yoga. We will of course visit God's creation on safari in the Serengetti and Ngorongoro Crater. Cost is $3,700, which covers roundtrip flight from LAX. For all the info you need visit RoadtoTanzania.com and for more questions you can contact Christian at zinchy@gmail.com and (714) 726-3673.
