A Word from Andrew...
Trinity Sunday and Memorial Day Weekend...
|
Dear Friends,
Today is often celebrated as 'Trinity Sunday,' an opportunity to intentionally reflect on one of Christianity’s most beautiful (and baffling!) mysteries.
In today's message, we will find out just how many good things come in threes, including the three-dimensional way God's love is revealed cosmically and personally. Join us at 10am on the Pine Street Church YouTube channel.
This is Memorial Day weekend, of course. And on the evening of Memorial Day last year, May 25, 2020, George Floyd died while in the custody of a white Minneapolis police officer. Mr. Floyd’s murder launched a wave of protests and a national outcry for reckoning on racial injustice.
This Memorial Day weekend 2021, we remember that our nation is made for peace and justice for all. Let our remembrances inspire redemptive actions that make that dream a reality for all people.
We remember, too, all the men and women providing security for all who come and go in peaceful and lawful pursuits, including men and women of our armed forces who have fought and died for freedom’s cause.
Today, I hope that you feel the love and beautiful mystery of the "Three-Of-A-Kind" God encompassing you and holding you.
With heart,
Andrew

ART BRUNCH
Sundays at 9:00am

Art and Poetry - Love as a Spiritual Ideal
Do you believe love is the highest experience in life (and perhaps in the afterlife) ? In part 4 of this series we will look at two masters of the Sonnet, Petrarch and Shakespeare. Both chose love as the chief subject matter for their poetry, and emphasized its divine qualities. Yet they interpreted the spirit of love a little differently. With the help of a special guest, Italian poet Marco Miani, we examine love as a spiritual ideal in the works of these two writers.
-----------------
In this series, we explore the history of poetry and its relation to the visual arts. Beginning with the oldest forms, epic and love poetry, we will make our way to the 20th Century, where poetry was seen as a great hope to fill the void left by the "death of God" after WWI.
In our examination, we will include the visual arts since poetry and painting are particularly related. Leonardo da Vinci said, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."
Even if some of us are not fans of poetry now, we may very well become fans after this fascinating exploration. During this series, we all should feel a fresh desire to enjoy the fruits of Calliope's gift, she being the greatest of the muses and the one who inspired Homer.
See you Sunday! And please share this event with kindred spirits.
You can learn more about each week's teachings at the WAMA Art Asylum page HERE.
