New Book Discussion: Searching for Sunday
Join us on Wednesday, April 27 and May 11, in person or by Zoom, as we discuss Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans. In this easy-to-read memoir, Evans shares her personal struggle to understand the Church and to find her place in it.
Using seven sacraments, Evans emphasizes the importance of each one and explains how the sacraments invited her “to touch, smell, taste, hear, and see God in the stuff of everyday life again."
In describing the relationship of the Church to the sacraments, Evans explains that the Church: tells us we are beloved (baptism); tells us we are broken (confession); tells us we are commissioned (holy orders); feeds us (communion); welcomes us (confirmation); anoints us (anointing of the sick); and unites us (marriage).
In discussing each of the sacraments, Evans shares stories that have been described as “funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest.” She makes connections between the ancient stories and rituals and her life in the 21st century, and will help us do the same.
