St. Martin's, Williamsburg, Wednesday webinar series, Bread
for the Journey, continues this Wednesday, May 20, at 7 p.m. with Karen
M. Meridith, Executive Director of Education for Ministry, the
University of the South's flagship four-year program for lay theological
education.
The conversation will survey how and why faith formation (and
how we think about it) has changed over the years: from Sunday School
in the Industrial Revolution through its rise (and fall?) in the 20th
century. Our aim is to arrive at not just today's church, but to look at
tomorrow and the future of faith formation. What opportunities and
challenges are we facing, and who is God calling us to become? While the
conversation is a theoretical one, it has important personal
ramifications for each Christian. Who is God calling me to be, and how committed am I?
To prepare for the webinar, Karen suggests reading a five-part blog series,
on how we do (and might do) formation in a changing church. Each short
article is written by Sharon Pearson, longtime leader of Christian
formation in the Episcopal Church. The webinar is free, but registration is required. Register here.
